Full Discussion: Shell - Read a text file with two words and extract data
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Shell - Read a text file with two words and extract data Post 302983626 by Scrutinizer on Friday 14th of October 2016 04:02:47 AM

Hi, try using arrays:
Code:
while IFS=', ' read -a F
do
  printf "%s\n" "${F[@]}"
done <  newtest2.txt > output.txt

But there is another issue:
There are fields that contain spaces, so the IFS value will not work properly.

So try this instead:
Code:
while IFS=, read -a F
do
  printf "%s\n" "${F[@]# }"
done < newtest2.txt > output.txt

Here the IFS is set to a single comma and a spurious leading space gets cut off through parameter expansion (# )
