Setting values in an array? Easy one
I need to do something like this:

Code:
KEYS=[key1,key2,key3,key4]

for key in $KEYS
do
echo $key
done

The KEYS are static values in my script, I'm just having trouble with setting them as separate values.

Thanks!

KSH examples:

as a list:

Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh

typeset IFS=,
KEYS=key1,key2,key3,key4
for i in ${KEYS}
do
    echo $i
done

or as an array

Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh

set -A KEYS key1 key2 key3 key4
for i in ${KEYS[@]}
do
    echo $i
done

No need to echo:

Code:
for i in key1 key2 key3
do
echo $i
done
