parsing using Korn

Comment:

Hi, I need to know the best way to parse a textfile that contains the following text 00010000001M 00010000001Q 00040000001M I would like to parse the first 8 characters and store it in a variable , then the next 3 characters and store it in a variable and so on and so forth, then loop to the next line. Can i do that in Korn?

Use the cut command to parse the text lines: #!/bin/ksh while read line do c=$(echo "$line" | cut -c1-8) v=$(echo "$line" | cut -c9-11) echo $c echo $v done < file
