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

WARNINGS

       The format of the log file may be changed without notice.

       Some configuration changes can be made without using the kernel configuration commands.	No log file entries are made for such changes.

       The log file should not be manually edited.  Doing so may cause to behave unpredictably.
