I'm new to bash and am trying to write a script that puts 3 substrings in 3
variables. I have a string with password,firstname,lastname. and I need it to
be in 3 variables.
I'm just an apprentice here, but I think "cut" is a good choice of tool.
$ echo 'password,firstname,lastname' | cut -d',' -f1
password
$ echo 'password,firstname,lastname' | cut -d',' -f2
firstname
$ echo 'password,firstname,lastname' | cut -d',' -f3
lastname
-d is the field delimiter, -f says which fields you want
