If you use an array, you might achieve what you need. You might need to use some indirect reference, but it would be important to know what your script is written in to advise on code.
Additionally, is your code always comma separated and would a comma ever appear as a value? Is the data set large? If so, then probably an awk rather than shell script would be better.
I hope that someone here can help. I have a few ideas, but before knowing the above, i don't want to leap into it.

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
