KSH: Reading a file line by line into multiple arrays
Hi -
I have a file that contains data in this format:-
#comment
value1 value2 value3
#comment
value4 value5 value6 value7
#comment
value8 value9
I need to read value1, value2 and value3 into one array, value4 value5 value6 and value7 into another array and value8 and value9 into a 3rd array.
If necessary I could prefix each line with the name of the array .... e.g.
array_name1 value1 value2 value3
I would be grateful if someone please tell me the best way of doing this? I don't need to necessarily create arrays either - I just need to get the values into my script to be used in various do .. while loops. I could just create the arrays in the script and be done with but I am not sure this is the best way of doing things.
Thanks for your help.

I need some help. I would like to read in a text file.
Take a variable such as ROW-D-01, compare it to what's in one line in the text file such as PROD/VM/ROW-D-01 and only input PROD/VM into a variable without the /ROW-D-01.
Is this possible? any help is appreciated. (2 Replies)
