Why cann't I find IFS variable in my system
 
Hello, I use centos 6.5 and when I echo $IFS, I see just a blank new line. I think is should not be this, yes? Thank you very much for your help.

The default value is space, tab and newline so echo $IFS will not display anything.

Try the following:
printf %q "$IFS"
