Corona688 posted an elegant solution for your original specification, that gets rid of excess spaces but it would not work right for the second sample.
In addition to what rbatte posted, another way to get rid of the leading space after the comma would be:
--
Note: this only works if there are exactly two fields, if there can be more you would need to add a third variable to the read command..
--
Another note, to get consistent results independent of input, the safest approach would be to use printf, rather than echo
