Example from array file ?
if input line include spaces, for is not easy. While is better
Code:
while read line
# or while read var1 var2 var3 endstr
do
    # you can set line to array
    flds=($line)
   # or set -A flds -- $line # => $1 is 1st fld and $* is all and $# is number of values
    echo 1st value is ${flds[0]}
    #...
done < /opt/emc/cxarray/$host
