Hi Vbe,

I have done the below ...
Code:
split -l 2 line_test.txt line_test.txt
set -A TEST_ARRAY line_test.txta*
a=0
for i in ${TEST_ARRAY[@]}
do
   echo " TEST_ARRAY[$a]  : $i"
   mv $i ./line_test_$a.txt
   (( a = a + 1 ))
done

it is working ...I have searched and tried this...

But I dont know that the above is correct. Is there some nice way to do the same ?

Regards,
Kalidoss

Using an array for this is kind of overkill. If you just want to read lines one by one, read lines one by one.

Code:
A=0
while read -r LINE
do
        echo mv "$LINE" "./line_test_${A}.txt"
        let A=A+1
done < inputfile

This ought to work in any Bourne shell, while that array code will only work in KSH.

The code seems to be fine. Have you saved the file with a windows editor?
