When running if condition, getting the following error
Hi All,

My input file name is 1.sh

the contents of file are

cat status2.txt | while read filename
do
echo "$filename"
echo "first content of the file is ${filename[0]}"
echo "second content of the file is ${filename[0]}"
echo "second content of the file is ${filename[0]}"
if [ ${filename[0]} -eq 0 -a ${filename[1]} -eq 0 -a ${filename[2]} -eq 0 ]
then
echo "please execute the step 1, then step 2 and then step3"
elif [ ${filename[0]} -eq 0 ]
then
echo "please execute the step 2 and then step3"
elif [ ${filename[0]} -eq 0 -a ${filename[1]} -eq 0 -a ${filename[2]} -ne 0 ]
then
echo "please execute the last step3"
fi
done

Where status2.txt contains the following contents
0 --> first content is 0
0 --> Second content is 0
--> Third content is the space

Now running the 1.sh file i am getting the following output.

0
first content of the file is 0
second content of the file is 0
second content of the file is 0
./1.sh: [: too many arguments -------> Error
please execute the step 2 and then step3
0
first content of the file is 0
second content of the file is 0
second content of the file is 0
./1.sh: [: too many arguments -------> Error
please execute the step 2 and then step3

first content of the file is
second content of the file is
second content of the file is
./1.sh: [: too many arguments -------> Error
./1.sh: [: -eq: unary operator expected -------> Error
./1.sh: [: too many arguments -------> Error

gcore

gcore(1)							   User Commands							  gcore(1)

NAME

       gcore - get core images of running processes

SYNOPSIS

       gcore [-pgF] [-o filename] [-c content] process-id...

DESCRIPTION

       The gcore utility creates a core image of each specified process. By default, the name of the core image file for the process whose process
       ID is process-id will be core.process-id.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -c content      Produces core image files with the specified content. The content description uses the same tokens as in  coreadm(1M).  The
		       -c option does not apply to cores produced due to the -p or -g flags.

       -F	       Force. Grabs the target process even if	another  process has control.

       -g	       Produces core image files in the global core file repository with the global content as configured by coreadm(1M). The com-
		       mand will fail if the user does not have permissions to the global core file repository.

       -o filename     Substitutes filename in place of core as the first part of the name of the core image files. filename can contain the  same
		       tokens to be expanded as the paths in coreadm(1M).

       -p	       Produces  a  core image file in the process-specific location with the process-specific content for each process as config-
		       ured by coreadm(1M). The command will fail if the user does not have permissions to the per-process core file repository.

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       process-id      process ID

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       On success.

       non-zero        On failure, such as non-existent process ID.

FILES

       core.process-id	       core images

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
