read is a built-in, you cannot pipe to it.

This was encountered with cygwin v1.1.8 under Windows 2000 Professional.
 
The following script executes fine on other unix systems but not with cygwin
and I was wondering how to get around this problem:
 
echo one two three | read v1 v2 v3
echo "v1 = ${v1}"
echo "v2 = ${v2}"
echo "v3 = ${v3}"
 
It seems that the variables are not set at all when this is done with
cygwin.
 
I have this kind of code in many places and would really appreciate an
answer.
 
Thanks!
 
Regards,
Sergio Del Rio
