You don't say what shell you're using, but assuming it's one that supports arrays:

result=($(getConfigVals))    # you need to create an array before you can ...

for((cnt=0;cnt<${#result};cnt++))
do
    echo ${result[$cnt]}" - "$cnt    # ... access it using a subscript
done

This is going to be an indexed array, rather than an associative array. While associative arrays are supported in Bash 4, you'll need to use a loop similar to the one in Martin Kosek's answer for assignment if you want to use them.
