mac sed doesn't support \v escape, let bash create it

@akwky: Use an alternate file descriptor. while read -r line <&3; do ssh_or_something "$line"; done 3<file

A more general, correct, way: IFS=- read -r -d '' var1 var2 < <(printf %s "ABCDE-123456"). The -r -d '' and <(printf %s ...) are important

| Nov 11, 2020 at 14:30 | comment | added | Jerry Green | I initially gave this answer a plus as an elegant solution, but now figured out it works differently on Bash v3 and v4, thereby doesn't work on macos with pre-installed bash v3. Unfortunatelly I can't downvote the answer now since the vote is locked :( | |

The read does not work inside loops with input redirects. read will pick a wrong file descriptor to read from.

this solution also has the benefit that if delimiter is not present, the var2 will be empty
