matrixmadhan's solution is for perl script.
You can do the same thing with ksh :
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

string="abc@hotmail.com;xyz@gmail.com;uvw@yahoo.com"

oIFS="$IFS"; IFS=';' 
set -A str $string
IFS="$oIFS"

echo "strings count = ${#str[@]}"
echo "first : ${str[0]}";
echo "second: ${str[1]}";
echo "third : ${str[2]}";

Output:
Code:
strings count = 3
first : abc@hotmail.com
second: xyz@gmail.com
third : uvw@yahoo.com

parse_str - Parses the string into variables

SYNOPSIS
void parse_str (string $str, [array &$arr]) DESCRIPTION
Parses $str as if it were the query string passed via a URL and sets variables in the current scope. Note To get the current QUERY_STRING, you may use the variable $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']. Also, you may want to read the section on vari- ables from external sources. Note The magic_quotes_gpc setting affects the output of this function, as parse_str(3) uses the same mechanism that PHP uses to populate the $_GET, $_POST, etc. variables. PARAMETERS
o $str - The input string. o $arr - If the second parameter $arr is present, variables are stored in this variable as array elements instead. RETURN VALUES
No value is returned. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Using parse_str(3) <?php $str = "first=value&arr[]=foo+bar&arr[]=baz"; parse_str($str); echo $first; // value echo $arr[0]; // foo bar echo $arr[1]; // baz parse_str($str, $output); echo $output['first']; // value echo $output['arr'][0]; // foo bar echo $output['arr'][1]; // baz ?> SEE ALSO
