Here's a shell question I can't find the answer to. I have a command
that returns a set of newline-delimited values to a single variable.
Effectively, it looks like this:
MYVAR=alfa
bravo
charlie
delta
echo
I want to split those values out and into separate shell variables that
I can use for other things. In the end, it would look like this:
MYALFA=alfa
MYBRAVO=bravo
MYCHARLIE=charlie
MYDELTA=delta
MYECHO=echo
I can't find any bash facility which does this. Anyone know how to do
it?
