Yes, this is still on the list, as is multibyte character support for
the delimiter.

RFE: read -d STRING

2012-11-23 Thread Chris F.A. Johnson 


   I would find it very useful to allow a string of delimiters to be
   used with 'read -d', with any member of the string terminating the
   input and the character used being stored in a variable, e.g.
   READ_DELIM.
