Today I learned how to split a variable with multiple lines for a Bash/ZSH script. I was using the previously mentioned mdb-query package, and I have a variable named tables with the different tables, separated by returns. When I fried to do for table in $tables; do echo $table; done, it did not split the lines.
I got the right output with
while IFS= read -r table; do $table; done <<< $tables
