Hi,

i have a properties file a.prop where entry is like
PROCESS_IDX=0

Now in my shell schript i am doing like this.
#!/bin/sh
. a.prop
..............
-.......................
while read line
do
# tokenize the string by ",".
var=(`echo $line | tr ',' ' '`)
echo $PROCESS_IDX --> is printing 16
but when i am giving like below
if [ "${var[$PROCESS_IDX]}" == "y" ]; then
it is giving me the below error
")syntax error: operand expected (error token is "

Thanks for your help.
