Here is another problem that has been bugging me, have a look at this too if u can. Smilie. Thank you.
---------- Post updated at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous update was at 06:34 PM ----------

Take this code as example i have been trying to find out why my code was not working and this was happening,
CODE:

Code:
string="pop the one"
set -A myarray $string
echo ${myarray[0]}
echo ${myarray[1]}
echo ${myarray[2]}

OUTPUT
pop
the
one

This output comes up correctly when i just type these commands.

But, when i write the whole code in a file and save it as mycode and then run it as ./mycode it says:
./mycode: line 2: set: -A: invalid option
set: usage: set [--abefhkmnptuvxBCHP] [-o option] [arg ...]Smilie


Why is this so? can u explain?
