Re-reading man page and this discussion, I thing either this variable is
wrongly named "IFS", as `S` stand for "separator", either the man page
paragraph regarding "IFS" is something light.
Btw, the command "mapfile" (readarray) seem more suitable** than "read" for
splitting an array on delimiter. (** constant)
$ printf ' %-15s %-30s%s\n' String by\ Read{,Array};while IFS= read -r line;
do
IFS=: read -r _k _v1 _v2 <<<"$line"
readarray -td: array < <(printf %s "$line");
k="${array[0]}" v1="${array[1]}";
IFS=:; v2=${array[*]:2}; IFS=$' \t\n';
printf " %-15s k=%-3s v1=%-4s v2=%-11s k=%-3s v1=%-4s v2=%-11s\n" \
"${line@Q}" "${_k@Q}" "${_v1@Q}" "${_v2@Q}" \
"${k@Q}" "${v1@Q}" "${v2@Q}";
done < <(
printf '%s\n' \
k{:v1{:v2{:v3{:{:{:,},},},:{:{:,},},},:{:{:,},},},:{:{:,},},} )
String by Read by ReadArray
