[GRASS-dev] Using a multi-"${GIS_OPT_X}" input in a shell for loop

[Nikos Alexandris]

In past communications in the list I have found Glynn's, if I remember well, following piece of 
code-suggestion (or similar):

# set to comma ===============================================================
IFS=,

# loop over...
for Image in ${GIS_OPT_MSX}
  do
	# check if Image exists
	eval `g.findfile element=cell file="${Image}"`
	if [ -z "$name" ]
	  then g.message -e "can't find the <${Image}> image."
		exit 1
	  else g.message -v "* Low resolution image:	${Image}"
	fi
done

# reset IFS ==================================================================
IFS=${Default_IFS}



Is it wrong to simply:

for Image in `echo $GIS_OPT_MSX | tr "," "\ "` ; do echo ${Image}  ;  done

Thank you, Nikos
