redefinig IFS did work only on Linux, not on Solaris. So I wrote
a loop to split the input data into an array.

#!/bin/bash
declare -a Array

original=’string1 with spaces ~string2~string3~;; special chars \\;~last thing’
rest=$original
i=0

#create Array from line separated by ~
while true; do
restTmp=$rest
part1=${rest%%~*}; rest=${rest#*~}
Array[$i]=”$part1″
#echo $rest
i=`expr $i + 1`
if [ "$rest" == "$restTmp" ]; then
break
fi
done

#access Array
echo “Array[0]=${Array[0]}”
echo “Array[1]=${Array[1]}”
echo “Array[2]=${Array[2]}”
echo “Array[3]=${Array[3]}”
echo “Array[4]=${Array[4]}”

Not that this makes me enjoy bash any more(I prefer real programming languages), but this is much more understandable than that sed/awk stuff. Bookmarked, Stumbled, Saved. You sir are Awesome!
