Hi,

I have a reqmt as i have some values in array and I want to search each value in a file by grep command.
Here goes my scripting:

#!/bin/ksh
set -A ArrayA CENTER LEFT RIGHT
echo "ArrayA contains: ${ArrayAÝ*¨}"
grep -e "${ArrayAÝ*¨}" filename.txt


The above grep is working for me.
If I want to search a value from a variable in array, it is FAILING.
EG:

#!/bin/ksh
set -A ArrayA CENTER LEFT RIGHT
set -A Filenamearray filename1.txt filename2.txt
grep -e "${ArrayAÝ1¨}" ${FilenamearrayÝ*¨}

The above grep is NOT WORKING.

Can any one please let me know how to search values in array by using grep command.

Regards
Prashant

Are you trying to search for the string "CENTER LEFT RIGHT"? Or are you trying to search for ONE of the three words?

CENTER LEFT RIGHT are the members of the array.

I want to search all these members in file

You are saying you want to find any one of them? Then:

echo ${Array[*]}| tr ' ' '\n' | fgrep -f - filename.txt

Thanks otheus
