In bash, try:
Code:
read -a arr <<< $var

Code:
echo "${arr[0]}"
echo "${arr[1]}"
...


Code:
echo ${returnedvalues} | 
{ 
  read -a arr
  echo "${arr[0]}"
  echo "${arr[1]}"
  ...
}

Or
Code:
set -- $returnedvalues
echo $1
echo $2
...

At Junior_helper. Note that that will only go through the loop once. Using code groups ( { ... } ) would accomplish the same:

Code:
echo "$@" |
{
  read ${vars}
  ....
}

( But you can skip the whole bit, since the values will already be in $1, $2, $3 etc.. )

TOMOYO-SETPROFILE(8)					  System Administration Utilities				      TOMOYO-SETPROFILE(8)

NAME

       tomoyo-setprofile - profile assignment utility for TOMOYO Linux

SYNOPSIS

       tomoyo-setprofile [option] number <domain> [<domain> ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This program assigns the specified profile number to the specified domain.

       Before this program can be invoked, you must register it in /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/manager. After initializing policy, this is usually
       as simple as rebooting the system.

OPTIONS

       -r  Apply the specified profile number to all domains whose domain name starts with the specified string.

       number
	   The profile number must be an integer between 0 and 255.

       <domain>
	   The string must be quoted or escaped to avoid misinterpretation by the shell. It only matches an exact string unless the "-r" option is
	   specified.

EXAMPLES

       Assign profile 0 to all domains
	     tomoyo-setprofile -r 0 '<kernel>'

       Assign profile 1 to sshd and httpd domains
	     tomoyo-setprofile 1 '<kernel> /usr/sbin/sshd' '<kernel> /usr/sbin/httpd'
