[KSH] Split string into array

Hi,

Is there any way to convert a string into an array in KSH? In other words I want to split the string like this:


Code:
STRING="one two three four"

into an array of 4 values splitting on white space. The array should be similar to the one that would be created with the following command:


Code:
set -A STRING "one two three four"

Is there any way to do it in one instruction, not using a loop like this one:


Code:
   i=0
   for WORD in `echo ${STRING}`; do
        STRING2[$i]=$WORD
        ((i=i+1))
    done
