Question Shell - Read a text file with two words and extract data
hi I made this simple script to extract data and pretty much is a list and would like to extract data of two words separated by commas and I would like to make a new text file that would list these extracted data into a list and each in a new line.

Example that worked for me with text file having 3 fields only:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
IFS=", "
while read f1 f2 f3
do
	echo "$f1"
	echo "$f2"
	echo "$f3"
done < test2.txt > output.txt

and output.txt shows this

Code:
cheek
gingivae
hard
palate
inferior
lip
soft
palate
superior
lip
tongue
uvula

cat test2.txt shows this:
Code:
cheek, gingivae, hard,
palate, inferior, lip,
soft, palate, superior
lip, tongue, uvula

BUT NOW I have a list with more fields and have two words that I need:

new test2.txt shows this:
Code:
right, kidney, right ureter,
urethra, urinary, bladder,
left, adrenal gland, abdominal aorta, inferior vena cava, right renal vein, right renal artery, rectum, uterus

how can I list these 2 word terms into a list with each in its own individual line

THANKS!

gresource

GRESOURCE(1)							   User Commands						      GRESOURCE(1)

NAME

       gresource - GResource tool

SYNOPSIS

       gresource [--section SECTION] list FILE [PATH]

       gresource [--section SECTION] details FILE [PATH]

       gresource [--section SECTION] extract FILE PATH

       gresource sections FILE

       gresource help [COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION

       gresource offers a simple commandline interface to GResource. It lets you list and extract resources that have been compiled into a
       resource file or included in an elf file (a binary or a shared library).

       The file to operate on is specified by the FILE argument.

       If an elf file includes multiple sections with resources, it is possible to select which one to operate on with the --section option. Use
       the sections command to find available sections.

COMMANDS

       list
	   Lists resources. If SECTION is given, only list resourcs in this section. If PATH is given, only list matching resources.

       details
	   Lists resources with details. If SECTION is given, only list resources in this section. If PATH is given, only list matching resources.
	   Details include the section, size and compression of each resource.

       extract
	   Extracts the resource named by PATH to stdout. Note that resources may contain binary data.

       sections
	   Lists sections containing resources. This is only interesting if FILE is an elf file.

       help
	   Prints help and exits.
