Once, long ago--actually, on Sun, Jul 07, 2013 at 02:18:16PM CDT--Mike Wright (mike.wright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) said: > exactly what I needed. I'd never discovered IFS before As you've discovered, it's quite useful to manipulate IFS. Just a suggestion, however. In scripts where you modify IFS, do something like: IFSAVE=$IFS; ...do stuff... IFS=$IFSAVE Depending on what you're doing to/with IFS, it can lead to confusion with other commands if it's not as expected.
