Got to love Linux/BASH.  Always a few ways to so something, and each
one is a good one.  Some who seek the solution that involve the least
CPU time may have a preference.  But for most of us that is not an
issue.  As long as it works as expected, it's a good solution...

By the way I noted a typo in my suggestion.  In the beginning I use
ORIGINAL_IFS for my variable, but for the suggested last line of the
script I had IFS=$ORIGINAL.  That should have been IFS=$ORGINAL_IFS.
