IFS variable in bash

[Michael Hipp]

I don't seem to understand the IFS variable in bash. I know it's the 
internal field separator and it defaults to SPACE TAB NEWLINE. But I 
want to set it to just NEWLINE.

I've tried "\n" '\n' and just \n all to no avail. Those mostly seem to 
change it to "backslash enn". Surely there is some way to just set it to 
newline.

Thanks,
Michael
