Thanks for your fast response.
Unfortunately read only reads the first line, even if I set IFS like you did.
This is what happens:
nptcmc01,sys,root # (
> IFS='
> '
> read a b c d < file
> echo $a
> echo $b
> echo $c
> echo $d
> )
line1
nptcmc01,sys,root #
Please advise me how I could do this with an array. I have been trying to work this out for days!
