Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting For Loop Field editing - without using "awk" Post 302609203 by Corona688 on Monday 19th of March 2012 11:47:53 AM

Sorry for not getting back to this sooner.

You have found the right method for using delimiters with read. You can handle it a little more gracefully by doing

while IFS="," read ... so you don't need to permanently change the value of IFS, but that's just a minor improvement, it does fundamentally the same thing.

pam_putenv(3PAM)					       PAM Library Functions						  pam_putenv(3PAM)

NAME
pam_putenv - change or add a value to the PAM environment SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lpam [ library ... ] #include <security/pam_appl.h> int pam_putenv(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *name_value); DESCRIPTION
The pam_putenv() function sets the value of the PAM environment variable name equal to value either by altering an existing PAM variable or by creating a new one. The name_value argument points to a string of the form name=value. A call to pam_putenv() does not immediately change the environment. All name_value pairs are stored in the PAM handle pamh. An application such as login(1) may make a call to pam_getenv(3PAM) or pam_geten- vlist(3PAM) to retrieve the PAM environment variables saved in the PAM handle and set them in the environment if appropriate. login will not set PAM environment values which overwrite the values for SHELL, HOME, LOGNAME, MAIL, CDPATH, IFS, and PATH. Nor will login set PAM environment values which overwrite any value that begins with LD_. If name_value equals NAME=, then the value associated with NAME in the PAM handle will be set to an empty value. If name_value equals NAME, then the environment variable NAME will be removed from the PAM handle. RETURN VALUES
The pam_putenv() function may return one of the following values: PAM_SUCCESS The function returned successfully. PAM_OPEN_ERR dlopen() failed when dynamically loading a service module. PAM_SYMBOL_ERR Symbol not found. PAM_SERVICE_ERR Error in service module. PAM_SYSTEM_ERR System error. PAM_BUF_ERR Memory buffer error. PAM_CONV_ERR Conversation failure. PAM_PERM_DENIED Permission denied. ATTRIBUTES
