How to parse a string into variables
I'm working in korn shell and have a variable which contains a string like:
aa_yyyymmdd_bbb_ccc_ddd.abc. I want to treat the _ and . as delimiters and parse the string so I end up with 6 values in variables that I can manipulate. My original plan was to use
var1=`echo $sting1 | cut -c1-c2` but now the requirements have changed so the position is no longer fixed.
Please help.

cs_parse_string
cs_parse_string(3) cs/cs.h cs_parse_string(3)
NAME
cs_parse_string - parse a CS template string
SYNOPSIS
#include <cs/cs.h>
NEOERR *cs_parse_string (CSPARSE *parse, char *buf, size_t blen);
ARGUMENTS
parse - a CSPARSE structure created with cs_init
buf - the string to parse. Embedded NULLs are not currently
supported
blen - the length of the string
DESCRIPTION
cs_parse_string parses a string. The string is modified, and internal references are kept by the parse tree. For this reason, ownership
of the string is transfered to the CS system, and the string will be free'd when cs_destroy() is called. The parse information will be
appended to the current parse tree. During parse, the only HDF variables which are evaluated are those used in evar or include statements.
RETURN VALUE
None
