The posting failed first time. Replace each double '~' below with a double '<' to make the scripts work.

Hi,
Thanx very much . But i also need to
access the field variables seperately.
The given methods will put the entire row as
a single array element.
How will i access one row at a time and put the
field elements as array elements ?

Thanx ,
Bala S

There are probably many way, but here is a example - stick the lines through awk.

# $0 is the whole line
echo "hello to the world" | awk '{ print $0 }'
echo "hello to the world" | awk '{ print $1 }'
echo "hello to the world" | awk '{ print $2 }'
echo "hello to the world" | awk '{ print $3 }'
