Thanks for the suggestion ... I have tried :-

while read line ; do
read line1
set -A arr $line1
done < /tmp/test.txt

and also

i=0
exec < /tmp/test.txt
while read line ; do
arr[i]=$line
echo ${arr[i]}
(( i=i+1 ))
done

What I actually need to do though is read each line into a separate array.

e.g. /tmp/test.txt contains :-
# some comment
one two three four
# some comment
five six seven

So I need an array containing the values one two three and four and a separate array containing the values five six and seven. Is this even possible ?

Thanks for the help.
