BASH to KSH
I have a script in KSH and now need to incorporate this into another script which is in BASH. OUr script contains code like below in good number of places.

Eg: echo “A B C” | read VAR1 VAR2 VAR3

This works only in ksh and not in BASH. Please let me know

1. Which is the equivalent of the above in BASH.
Or
2. Is it possible to switch from BASH to KSH with in the same script so that our code works fine.

Looking for your help as we are in a critical stage. THanks a lot in advance.
