[...][The array seems a good idea, and i've used arrays briefly in the past. I'm having trouble with IFS though. This is running on Solaris8 using ksh.
You're using ksh88 and ksh88 doesn't support that syntax.
You should either use its supported syntax:
Or use ksh93 (if available under /usr/dt/bin/dtksh):
You don't need to modify IFS in this case.
