You can also use an array (bash version) :
Code:
var=/usr/bin,/usr/smrshbin,/tmp,/tmp,/opt,/test
IFS=, paths=($var)
for (( i=0; i<${#paths[@]}; i++ ))
do
   echo "[$i] ${paths[$i]}"
done

Output:
Code:
[0] /usr/bin
[1] /usr/smrshbin
[2] /tmp
[3] /tmp
[4] /opt
[5] /test

plot

PLOT(1G)																  PLOT(1G)

NAME

       plot - graphics filters

SYNOPSIS

       plot [ -Tterminal [ raster ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       These  commands read plotting instructions (see plot(5)) from the standard input, and in general produce plotting instructions suitable for
       a particular terminal on the standard output.

       If no terminal type is specified, the environment parameter $TERM (see environ(5)) is used.  Known terminals are:

       4014   Tektronix 4014 storage scope.

       450    DASI Hyterm 450 terminal (Diablo mechanism).

       300    DASI 300 or GSI terminal (Diablo mechanism).

       300S   DASI 300S terminal (Diablo mechanism).

       ver    Versatec D1200A printer-plotter.	This version of plot places a scan-converted image  in	`/usr/tmp/raster'  and	sends  the  result
	      directly	to  the  plotter device rather than to the standard output.  The optional argument causes a previously scan-converted file
	      raster to be sent to the plotter.

FILES

       /usr/bin/tek
       /usr/bin/t450
       /usr/bin/t300
       /usr/bin/t300s
       /usr/bin/vplot
       /usr/tmp/raster

SEE ALSO

       plot(3), plot(5)

BUGS

       There is no lockout protection for /usr/tmp/raster.
