The answer has been given but here's an example script which uses
"read":
#!/bin/bash
IFS=, read -a numbers < <(echo one,t w o,three)
printf '<%s>\n' "${numbe...@]}"
It will print:
<one>
<t w o>
<three>
In this case "read" is not necessary. This would do the same:
#!/bin/bash
IFS=, numbers=( $(echo one,t w o,three) )
printf '<%s>\n' "${numbe...@]}"
