Great, only answer on this page that worked. But I also had to move the IFS="" before the array construction.

| May 26, 2017 at 18:05 | comment | added | arntg | Paulo, see another answer here which may be better for your case: stackoverflow.com/a/9089186/1041319. Have not tried IFS="", and seems it does solve it elegantly - but your example shows why one may encounter issues in some cases. It may be possible to set the IFS="" on a single line, but it may still be more confusing than the other solution. | |
| Oct 9, 2015 at 14:37 | comment | added | Paulo Pedroso | I am using several arrays to parse info and I shall have the effect of IFS="" working in only one of them. Once I use IFS="" all other arrays stop parsing accordingly. Any hints about this? | |
