Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi

Need your help to assign the string to a variable from a line which has no fixed delimter in unix.

for example , my file contains

Name="report""
File Name one="test1"
File Name two="test2"

now how do I read report , test1 and test2 ?

var1=report
var2=test1
var3=test2

I know how to read them if there was a fixed delimiter like | or : ..but here it does not have a fixed delimiter.

Please help me.

Thanks in Advance

I do indeed see a fixed delimiter there: =

Code:

N=1
while IFS="=" read NAME VALUE
do
        # Using eval to get rid of the quotes.
        # eval reprocesses the line it sees.  So if var$N=$VALUE evaluates to
        # var3="some string", it will run that line in the script.
        eval "var$N=$VALUE"
        ((N++))
done < filename
