I love sh puzzles... Ignoring the possibility of feeding it through awk or something like that, how about... set -- `svccfg -s svc:/application/mydaemon listprop my/prop` shift 2 echo $# echo $1 echo $2 ... ? Processing the quoting right is left as an exercise for the reader (but, hint: I suspect that "eval" is your friend).
