bash - extract fields to variable -

i want extract fields line variables:

aaa bbb ccc

'aaa' => $a, 'bbb' => $b, 'ccc' => $c. how in bash?

i don't want pipeline processing, need extract them variables or array.

you can do:

read b c <<<"aaa bbb ccc"

$ echo "a=[$a] b=[$b] c=[$c]" a=[aaa] b=[bbb] c=[ccc]

as per bash manual:

   here strings        variant of here documents, format is:               <<<word        word expanded , supplied command on standard input.
