Bash Script to read a file and parse each record
Hi Guys,

I am new to unix scripting and I am tasked to parse through a CSV file delimited by #.

Sample:

sample.csv
Code:
H#A#B#C
D#A#B#C
T#A#B#C

H = Header
D = Detail Record
T = Tail


What I need is to read the file and parse through it to get the columns.
I have no idea on how to do this in bash script.

I'd appreciate any assistance. Thanks.
