RiSk,

I tried with arrays in KSH.

Below code works fine
Code:
$ set -A x a b c
$ echo ${x[1]}
b
$ echo ${x[0]}
a

But when i try my input text i get errors as below

Try 1
Code:
$ set -A x -parm a=b -parm c=d -parm e=f -parm g=h \
>
ksh: -parm: 0403-010 A specified flag is not valid for this command.

Try 2
Code:
$  set -A x -parm a=b -parm c=d -parm e=f -parm g=h \\
ksh: -parm: 0403-010 A specified flag is not valid for this command.

Try 3
Code:
$ set -A x '-parm a=b -parm c=d -parm e=f -parm g=h \'
ksh: -parm a=b -parm c=d -parm e=f -parm g=h \: 0403-010 A specified flag is not valid for this command.

Any other suggestions?

NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1) RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow- ing are disallowed or not performed: o changing directories with cd o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV o specifying command names containing / o specifying a filename containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted. These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read. When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script. SEE ALSO
