How to have two delimiter instead of only one of char. / as in this

Code:

while read -d':' -d'/' l;do echo $l ;done < file.txt

Code:

IFS=:/ read -ra words <<<'aa:bb/cc'
for w in ${words[@]}
do echo $w
done

BTW, your code above doesn't need word delimiters at all: the variable l gets assigned the whole line anyway.

My try:

Code:

echo 'Long:string/multiple/parts' |
tr ':/' '\n\n' | while read -r W; do echo "#$W#"; done
#Long#
#string#
#multiple#
#parts#
