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

echo

echo(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						  echo(1B)

NAME

       echo - echo arguments to standard output

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]

DESCRIPTION

       echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.

       echo  is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
       ronment variables.

       For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:

	   o	  echo your current-working-directory's full pathname

	   o	  pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters

	   o	  pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.

		    example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"

       See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.

       The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be  invoked	if
       the  user  calls  echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
       characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the  black-slashed  escape  characters,	and  ksh's
       echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.

OPTIONS

       -n    Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.

ATTRIBUTES

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

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWscpu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       csh(1), echo(1), ksh(1), sh(1), tr(1), wc(1), attributes(5)

NOTES

       The -n option is a transition aid for BSD applications, and may not be supported in future  releases.
