Hello tricampeon81,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps. Though not sure about your complete requirement but as per your question this may help you.
Code:
var2=`echo $var | cut -d"|" -f1`
var3=`echo $var | cut -d"|" -f2`

Output will be as follows.
Code:
echo $var2
30 
echo $var3
500

Thanks,
R. Singh

Please don't mix threads and be careful not to waste resources by applying suboptimal solutions. Do it right the first time.

For your (sub-) problem above, use shell's parameter expansion (pre/suffix substitution):
Code:
var="30|500"
echo ${var#*|}
500
echo ${var%|*}
30
