Split one Variable into three

Hi

i have a variable $VAR =15 14 13,

i want to split this number and store in 3 variables say
$N1=15
$N2=14
$N3=13

i know its simple but my mind is not giving me answers at this point of time. i will be running the code in Solaris Box..please help

I think this code will serve you:

var1=`echo $var | awk '{print $1}'
var2=`echo $var | awk '{print $2}'
var3=`echo $var | awk '{print $3}'

:)Thank you :b: its working

Another way instead of using awk 3 times:

echo $var | read var1 var2 var3
