Bash Read Comma Separated CVS File

How do I read comma separated CVS file under UNIX / Linux / BSD / Mac OS X bash script? My sample file is as follows:

FirstName LastName,DOB,SSN,Telephone,Status

You can use while shell loop to read comma-separated cvs file. IFS variable will set cvs separated to , (comma). read command will read each line and store data into each field.

#!/bin/bash
INPUT=data.cvs
OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS=,
[ ! -f $INPUT ] && { echo "$INPUT file not found"; exit 99; }
while read flname dob ssn tel status
do
	echo "Name : $flname"
	echo "DOB : $dob"
	echo "SSN : $ssn"
	echo "Telephone : $tel"
	echo "Status : $status"
done < $INPUT
IFS=$OLDIFS
