Can read .sh file data?

I want to ask a simple question,but I just can't solve it.

I have a test.sh file and a Untitled.m file.

How to use Untitled.m file read data from test.sh file?

What command should I use?

Thank you.

Do you mean that test.sh is a K-Shell script that is to be executed to produce output and that you want to read the output in Untitled.m ? If so then provided that you are using Mac or Linux, or you have installed the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 (not available for earlier Windows), then use

[status, result] = system('./test.sh');

and then result will be a character vector with embedded newlines which holds the output text; you can then use sscanf() or textscan() or regexp() or character operations to extract information from that character vector.
