I am updating my post kickstart to layout my ESX datastore.  This is for my lab environment where I wipe and drop often. I got all of my drives type and label in a simple array

PHYSICAL_DRIVES=”SATA_SSD-SSD_VM Samsung-SSD_VSAN HITACHI-SSD_HDD”

What is the proper syntax or tool (grep, sed, or awk) to read in for example “SATA_SSD-SSD_VM” as $input and break it up into two variable where the market is “-”

So $type = would be “SATA” or all character from the start of $input up to the character “-“

and $label = would be “SSD_VM” or all the character after “-” to the end of the $input string

And feedback would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance
