Split string into multiple variables in Bash [duplicate]

Question

I have a string that gets generated below:

192.168.1.1,UPDOWN,Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet1/0/13, changed state to up 

How can I take that string and make 2 variables out of it (using bash)?

For example I want

$ip=192.168.1.1  $int=GigabitEthernet1/0/13 

Answer 1

Try this:

mystring="192.168.1.1,UPDOWN,Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet1/0/13, changed state to up"  IFS=',' read -a myarray <<< "$mystring"  echo "IP: ${myarray[0]}" echo "STATUS: ${myarray[3]}" 

In this script ${myarray[0]} refers to the first field in the comma-separated string, ${myarray[1]} refers to the second field in the comma-separated string, etc.
