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...@]}" -- Feel free to Cc me your replies if you want to make sure I'll notice them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
