@RudiC, what if there are two consecutive empty fields?

You're pushing the limits, no? Admittedly that's been a band aid. Use awk or equivalent?

Thank you again.

Mr Scrutinizer codes have this error using Bash on Debian:
Code:
read: -A: invalid option
read: usage: read [-ers] [-a array] [-d delim] [-i text] [-n nchars] [-N nchars] [-p prompt] [-t timeout] [-u fd] [name ...]

Mr RudiC codes work so far.

done < file

It was said that it would not work with bash, but with ksh93 or zsh
