Please provide a sample input (config) file and expected output..

The config file looks like below:

# This is the properties file which has the Hostaddress,instancecount,username and the password

HOST_ADDRESS = 180.144.226.47,180.144.226.35
USERNAME = pwdfre,kjhy
PASSWORD = hgfre,loiuy
INSTANCE_COUNT = 3,8

The individual entries i have to store in an array and then do operations on that.

Try this,

Code:

sed -e '1i#!/bin/ksh' -e 's/,/ /g' -e 's/=//g' -e 's/\(.*\)/set -A \1/' /tmp/yourInput > /tmp/array_config.ksh

The above will create a ksh script with arrays.

You can use them,to list all the values contained in the array use ${HOST_ADDRESS[*]} format

Thanks
