Here's an alternative way of doing this that I use (ksh):
Code:
{
x='23232321223,11100,N/A,Hey You There,N/A,N/A,Wed Jul 26 09:02:26 2006'
typeset IFS=,
set -A SParray $( print "${x}" )
set | grep SParray
}
SParray[0]=23232321223
SParray[1]=11100
SParray[2]=N/A
SParray[3]='Hey You There'
SParray[4]=N/A
SParray[5]=N/A
SParray[6]='Wed Jul 26 09:02:26 2006'
