title: Multiple variables from text file in BASH
body: <p>I am writing a script to RSH into servers from a text file and create a specific user on each system. I work for a university that is currently testing Amazon EC2 for their courses. Is it possible to take colon or comma separated values in a text file like this : </p>
  
  <pre><code>    server.edu:user123:John:email@university.edu
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and pass them to a BASH script as $server $username etc... </p>
