Read line and save fields as variables

Hej guys,
I am trying to read a csv file line by line, save it's fields as variables per line so I can use them as parameters and execute stuff.
I am new to shell scripting and was just strictly following a tutorial. Somehow my version seems to ignore the loop. Any help?

TY! Smilie

Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo " I AM OUTSIDE THE LOOP"

infile="./calls.txt"

while IFS=',' read -r f1 f2
do
        echo " I AM INSIDE THE LOOP"

        foo=$f1
        bar=$f2

        #many program calls here

done < "$infile"

Execution is:
Code:
I AM OUTSIDE THE LOOP
