Hi MadeInGermany...

I was well aware of 'IFS' being permanent but the test code was proof of concept rather than a dedicated program.
If C688 had not mentioned the heredoc method then then I would not have known about it. My searching prowess must be poor using Google.
Having said that this is neat too, as it is also new to me:

Code:

(
# this is a sub shell
IFS="$IFS"'.'
# shell code that needs the modified IFS
)
# in the main shell there is the old IFS

So you get a thumbs up too:

Code:

	        .--.
	        \   \
	         .   .
	         |   |
	         |   |
	         |   |
	    ____/     `-----------.
	   /                       )
	  |           +----------.'
	  |                       )
	  |           +---------.'
	  |                      )
	  |           +--------.'
	   \                    )
	    '------------------'

Bazza.
