Get tokens from line and put them into an array
I have a line like:

Code:
IDNO H1 H2 H3 HT Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 M1 M2 EXAM

I would like to be able to access these tokens in such a way:
echo $myline[1] #displays IDNO

Is this possible to do in a shell script?

echo "IDNO H1 H2 H3 HT Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 M1 M2 EXAM" | while read -a array
do
echo "${array[0]}"
done
