You can also do :

Code:

#!/bin/ksh -x

OriginalString='-p/usr/home/dfusr/adm/props/Comments.properties_-iPEL17'

oldIFS="$IFS" ; IFS=
set -A cmdLineArgs -- $OriginalString
IFS="$oIFS"

echo "cmdLineArgs[0]:::::::: ${cmdLineArgs[0]}"
echo "cmdLineArgs[1]:::::::: ${cmdLineArgs[1]}"

I have also tried :

Code:

IFS=_ set -A cmdLineArgs -- $OriginalString

The problem is that this command works fine at the prompt, but not from a script file. Somebody can explain that ?
