Thanks for the help guys! I managed to get something working, though it was a little hectic and there's probably more graceful way of dealing with a little problem I had involving the script running once for each "word" in the flatfile instead of once for each line.
Here's the practical example should someone be interested in the future.
$ cat array.sh
#/bin/ksh
TESTFILE=$1
while read line
do
set -A array $line
# at this point you have array elements that you reference with a number
# ${#array[*]} number of fields or elements in the array.
let i=0
while [[ $i -lt ${#array[*]} ]]
do
INSTANCE=${array[0]}
i=$(( i + 1 ))
SERVER=${array[1]}
i=$(( i + 1 ))
PRIORITY=${array[2]}
i=$(( i + 1 ))
VPOOL=${array[3]}
i=$(( i + 1 ))
BPATH=${array[4]}
i=$(( i + 1 ))
OSV=${array[5]}
i=$(( i + 1 ))
#echo $INSTANCE
#echo $SERVER
#echo $PRIORITY
#echo $VPOOL
#echo $BPATH
#echo $OSV
echo bppolicynew ora_"$INSTANCE"
echo bpplinfo ora_"$INSTANCE" -set -ut -active -blkincr 0 -collect_tir_info 0 -compress 0 -crossmp 1 -disaster 0 -encrypt 0 -follownfs 0 -multiple_streams 1 -policyjobs 0 -pool "$VPOOL" -priority "$PRIORITY" -pt Standard -residence \"foo_bar\" -chkpt 1 -chkpt_intrvl 30
echo bpplsched ora_"$INSTANCE" -add Full
echo bpplschedrep ora_"$INSTANCE" Full -cal 0 -freq 86400 -mpxmax 1 -rl 5 -st FULL
echo bpplinclude ora_"$INSTANCE" -add "$BPATH"/*
echo bpplclients ora_"$INSTANCE" -add "$SERVER" Solaris "$OSV"
#echo ENDPASS
done
done < $TESTFILE

I have a text file of lines like:

In other words, each line is a pipe-delimited set of pairs of strings of the form "X=Y".
What I want to do is find the token starting with "C", and print it and its value (so I'd want to print "C=3" in the example above).

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.
