Parsing

I read the line "xyx","asdfsd","qweerqw_adfad"

from a input text file, i need to separate out the data from this single string into separate variables like

"xyx"
"asdfsd"
"qweerqw_adfad"

One quick and dirty solution (if this is what you need)

Code:
var1=`echo "xyx","sdfsdf","asf_asdf" | cut -f 1 -d","`
var2=`echo "xyx","sdfsdf","asf_asdf" | cut -f 2 -d","`
var3=`echo "xyx","sdfsdf","asf_asdf" | cut -f 3 -d","`

Try to generalize it using a script.
