Some more ways with only one awk:

ksh
Code:
echo $line |  awk -F "|" '{print $1; print NR}' | xargs | read x1 x2

Code:
echo $line |  awk -F "|" '{print $1,NR}' | read x1 x2

-or-
Use an array:
Code:
X=( $(awk -F "|" '{print $1,NR}' <<<$line ) )
echo ${X[0]} 
echo ${X[1]}

bash/ksh
Code:
read x1 x2 < <(echo $line |  awk -F "|" '{print $1,NR}'

)
Code:
read x1 x2 < <(awk -F "|" '{print $1,NR}' <<<$line)

bash/ksh/posix:
Code:
echo $line |  awk -F "|" '{print $1,NR}' |{ read x1 x2
echo $x1
echo $x2
}

Code:
set -- $(echo $line | awk -F "|" '{print $1,NR}')
x1=$1
x2=$2

-or-
Code:
x1="${line%%|*}"; x2=1

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
