You really shouldn't use "temp" as a name. See 'man mktemp'.

You could save this use of cat with this idiom:
while read trv; do
# do sth. with trv
done < temp
This iterates over the lines of the file "temp" and assigns each line to
trv. It behaves differently from your version in case one or more lines
in "temp" contains whitespace, though.

You probably want to "break" out of the loop. Exit exits the shell.

Useless use of cat. :)
