need help with korn shell array
I have a korn shell script that reads a file with just one column in the file. If the file has more than 5 entries it is split using split -5. This means that is we have 15 entries I will end up with 3 files with 5 entries/lines in each and if I have 23 entries I will end up with 5 files with the last file containing only 3 entries/lines. I have a for loop that reads the entries in each of the files into an array. The problem is that when the last files has less than 5 entries and I do a print ${array[*] it ends up printing 5 entries.

Fo example if my ladst file has only 3 entries I end up printing the 3 entries and the last 2 entries from the previous file.

Can somebody tell me what is wrong with this syntax. Thanks!


/usr/bin/split -5 /tmp/export_sort.$$ /tmp/export_sort.$$_

for FILE in `ls /tmp/export_sort.$$_*`
do
i=0
for V in `cat $FILE`
do
array[i]="$V"
((i=i+1))
done

echo "Line entries from $FILE = ${array[*]}"

done

dxmsvngetselections

DXmSvnGetSelections(3X) 												   DXmSvnGetSelections(3X)

NAME

       DXmSvnGetSelections - Retrieves (returns) a list of selected entry numbers.

SYNOPSIS

       void DXmSvnGetSelections(
	       Widget widget,
	       int *entries(),
	       int *comps(),
	       XtPointer *tags(),
	       int len );

PARAMETERS

       The  identifier	(widget  ID) of the SVN widget.  A pointer to an array of integers to receive the selected entry numbers.  A pointer to an
       array of integers to receive the component numbers on which the entry was selected.  A component number of  0  means  that  the	entry  was
       selected  using	range selection and not by directly clicking on the entry.  If components are not needed, a Null pointer may be passed.  A
       pointer to an array of longwords to receive the application tag value for each entry selected.  If tags are not needed, a Null pointer  may
       be passed.  An integer that represents the number of entries allocated in the provided array.

DESCRIPTION

       The  DXmSvnGetSelections  routine  returns  a  list of entries that are currently selected by the user.	Make this call in your application
       between calls to DXmSvnDisableDisplay and DXmSvnEnableDisplay to ensure that the selected list is not changing.

       The application is responsible for managing the memory used to return this list of highlighted entries.	As such, note  the  following:	At
       the minimum, the number of entries in the array should be capable of holding the number of entries indicated by the value returned from the
       DXmSvnGetNumHighlighted routine.  If there are more entries in the array than the application will need, the SVN widget will set the  value
       for those extra entries to 0.  If the capacity of the arrays passed is less than the number of selected entries, only the number of entries
       allocated in the provided array (the value for len) will be returned.
