Need to split string on single quote as delimiter
I have a variable that contains the following string:

Code:
FPATH=-rw-rw-r-- 1 user1 dba 0 Aug  7 13:14 /app/F11.3/app/cust/exe/filename1.exe'  -rw-rw-r-- 1 user1 dba 0 Aug 19 10:09 /app/app/F11.3/app/cust/sql/33211.sql'  -rw-r--r-- 1 user1 dba 0 Aug  6 17:20 /app/F11.2/app/01/mrt/file1.mrt'

I need to split the string based on single quote as delimiter print as below:

Desired Output:
Code:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user1 dba 0 Aug  7 13:14 /app/F11.3/app/cust/exe/filename1.exe  
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user1 dba 0 Aug 19 10:09 /app/app/F11.3/app/cust/sql/33211.sql
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 dba 0 Aug  6 17:20 /app/F11.2/app/01/mrt/file1.mrt

Below is what I tried but it does not work:
Code:
#a=($(echo $FPATH | tr '/'' "\n"))
a=(`echo $FPATH | sed 's/'/\n/g'`)

   for i in "${a[@]}"
do
   printf "ARRAY3:$i"
done

Can you please suggest why is it breaking and how can i get it to work ?
