Question : Korn Shell: Read variable length file with variable number of fields and store fields in variables

Store the fields of one record for all records of a variable length ascii file in variables in a Korn Shell script.
For example, the format of the file is:
field1, field2, field3, .. .field n where n may be any number and the number differs between records.
There may be 1-n records in the file.
For each record, the fields should be assigned to a  variable $FIELD1, $FIELD2, ... $FIELDN; The variables shall be assigned for each record in turn; provide a variable indicating the number of fields in the record (
Variables available in a while or for loop shall be:
$numberoffields, $Field1, $Field2, ... $FieldN).
Thank you for your trouble,
