using array in ksh
hi all,
need help with putting names in an array, i have a few servers which i look up by doing a 'find . -name "*.pid' and the format of the output is like following :


./servername/myserver.pid

i was wondering how can i iterate through and store each name in one array

my code is as follows so far :

find ./ -name "*.pid" |
while read LINE;
do
serverArray[counter]=$($LINE | cut -d\/ -f2);

done


but this doesnt seem to work. any suggestions ??


thanks in advance.
