Try:
Code:
TAB=$(printf "\t")
while IFS=$TAB read ci voxels max max_x max_y max_z cog_x cog_y cog_z
do
  echo "$max_x, $max_y, $max_z"
done < infile


If you only need those the three values you could simplify like this :
Code:
TAB=$(printf "\t")
while IFS=$TAB read x x x max_x max_y max_z x
do
  echo "$max_x, $max_y, $max_z"
done < infile

where "x" contains dummy values..

In bash ksh93 and zsh you can use:
Code:
while IFS=$'\t' read ...

in other shells you can use a hard-TAB (entered through CTRL-V TAB)
