Help needed reading the file

I am reading a pipe delimted file having the 4 columns. The file content looks like
Code:
APT|string|Application ID For App|value

Code:
for env in `cat $ConfigFile`
do

        name=`echo $env | cut -d '|' -f1` 
        type=`echo $env | cut -d '|' -f2 
        prompt=`echo $env | cut -d '|' -f3`
        vval=`echo $env | cut -d '|' -f4` 
done

But for prompt the output is coming as "Application". I need the output as "Application ID For App" for prompt variable.
Please help.

Thanks,
Chandu123

PIPE(2) 							System Calls Manual							   PIPE(2)

NAME
pipe - create an interprocess channel SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h> #include <libc.h> int pipe(int fd[2]) DESCRIPTION
Pipe creates a buffered channel for interprocess I/O communication. Two file descriptors are returned in fd. Data written to fd[1] is available for reading from fd[0] and data written to fd[0] is available for reading from fd[1]. After the pipe has been established, cooperating processes created by subsequent fork(2) calls may pass data through the pipe with read and write calls. The bytes placed on a pipe by one write are contiguous even if many processes are writing. Write boundaries are preserved: each read terminates when the read buffer is full or after reading the last byte of a write, whichever comes first. The number of bytes available to a read(2) is reported in the Length field returned by fstat or dirfstat on a pipe (see stat(2)). When all the data has been read from a pipe and the writer has closed the pipe or exited, read(2) will return 0 bytes. Writes to a pipe with no reader will generate a note sys: write on closed pipe. SOURCE
/sys/src/libc/9syscall SEE ALSO
intro(2), read(2), pipe(3) DIAGNOSTICS
Sets errstr. BUGS
If a read or a write of a pipe is interrupted, some unknown number of bytes may have been transferred. When a read from a pipe returns 0 bytes, it usually means end of file but is indistinguishable from reading the result of an explicit write of zero bytes. PIPE(2)
