Parse output path to set variable

I am looking to parse a text file output and set variables based on what is cropped from the parsing.

Below is my script I am looking to add this feature too.
All it does is scan a certain area of users directories for anyone using up more than X amount of disk space. It then writes to the output file and emails the output file when done to a number of people that is defined in the script.
I want it to also email the username found in the output file.
Below the script is a sample output of what is emailed.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
_dufile="/tmp/testing-results.log"
MAILTO=myname@mydomain.com

rm -rf /tmp/testing-results.log

du -m -s /home/project_A/users/* | perl -ne '@l = split();print "@l\n" if $l[0]>=1960' > /tmp/testing-results.log

if [ -s "$_dufile" ]
then
        echo "$_dufile has found user with over allowed data amount, emailing "
        cat /tmp/testing-results.log | mailx -s " Testing user exceeded 2GB limit Quota Notification" $MAILTO
else
        echo "$_dufile is empty."
fi

--------------------------
output file data in /tmp/testing-results.log :

Code:

39292 /home/project_A/users/jdoe
49200 /home/project_A/users/bsmith
89019 /home/project_A/users/rguy

Basically, I need to read the output of /tmp/testing-results seen above, and crop out everything except the username "jdoe" and "bsmith" and "rguy" and set each one to a variable. Then just plugging in those variables to my mailx list with a domain name added.

This will then send the output to myname@mydomain, and also the output sent to each person/user "jdoe" "bsmith" ect...

I'm sure there are a million ways of doing this and would highly appreciate any suggestions of the read and parse of my output file /tmp/testing-results

Thanks in advance.

atf-sh

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME

     atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs

SYNOPSIS

     atf-sh script

DESCRIPTION

     atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library.

     atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL.  atf-sh executes the inter-
     preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script.  You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not
     use any non-standard extensions.

     The following options are available:

     -s shell	  Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL.

ENVIRONMENT

     ATF_LIBEXECDIR    Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located.  Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
     ATF_PKGDATADIR    Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located.  Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
     ATF_SHELL	       Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.  Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a
		       specific interpreter.

EXAMPLES

     Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with:

	   #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh

     Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh.  Instead, you have to hardcode
     the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter:

	   #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash

ENVIRONMENT

     ATF_SHELL	  Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.
