If SRC=???? does not contain any white space, what about:

grep dropped | while read data; do
	eval export $data
	echo $SRC
done

Anything that's not of the type something=something else will be 
ignored, yet SRC= will now be treated as a shell var.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
