[Solved] Reading Array And Send An Email

I am trying to find an example for reading an array instead of reading a file and send out an email in ksh. Can you please help is that possible?

Algorithm

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
i=0
set -A ARR

if [ a -ne b ]
then
let i=$[$i+1]
ARR[$i]="A does n't match with B"
fi

if [ p -ne q ]
then
let i=$[$i+1]
ARR[$i]="P does n't match with Q"
fi

 -- send an single email reading the array

Do i need to read the array in a loop? it's not working

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

i=0
set -A ARR

if [ a -ne b ]
then
let i=$[$i+1]
ARR[$i]="A does n't match with B"
fi

if [ p -ne q ]
then
let i=$[$i+1]
ARR[$i]="P does n't match with Q"
fi

while [ $i -eq ${#ARR[*]} ]
do
IFS=$'\n' echo "${ARR[@]}" | mailx -s "Hello" xxx@abc.com
i=$i-1
done

No, you don't need to put it in a loop. [@] should become all array elements.

In what way is it "not working"?

May bad it is working

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
i="0"
a="1"
b="2"
p="3"
q="4"
set -A ARR

if [ a -ne b ]
then
ARR[$i]="A does n't match with B"
fi

if [ p -ne q ]
then
i=$i+1
ARR[$i]="P does n't match with Q"
fi

#IFS=$'\n' echo "${ARR[@]}" | mailx -s "Hello" abc@xyz.com
echo "${ARR[@]}" | mailx -s "Hello" abc@xyz.com

But how do i print new line after each array element?
Code:
A does n't match with B P does n't match with Q

That's what the IFS part of the statement was supposed to do.

You could try this instead:

Code:
printf "%s\n" "${ARRAY[@]}" | mail ...
