Verify the input
I run the script with one parameter : myscript abc002

But I need my script to check the parameter in txt array first:

txt="abc001 abc002 abc004"

What's the best way to do it? I am using ksh.

Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh

txt="abc001 abc002 abc004"
if [ $1 not in txt ]; then
    echo " Your input is wrong, please run the script by $0 ( $txt ) "
    exit
fi

       sieveshell --help

DESCRIPTION

       sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server.	It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.

       The following commands are recognized:

	   list list scripts on server.

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

	   get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

	   delete <name> delete script.

	   activate <name> activate script.

	   deactivate deactivate all scripts.

OPTIONS

       -u user, --user=user
	   The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.

       -a authname, --authname=authname
	   The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).

       -r realm, --realm=realm
	   The realm to attempt authentication in.

       -e script, --exec=script
	   Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
