The line
Code:
#!bin/ksh

was already in the code, I forgot to post it...

I used this file as a test:
Code:
                                          2 variables
                     -1.992929132651970e+00 x1
                     -2.621936892448895e-02 x2

and when running the shell i get:

Code:
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -1: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -.: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -9: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -9: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -2: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -9: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -2: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -9: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -1: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -3: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -2: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -6: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -5: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -1: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -9: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -7: unknown option
./EvalShell.sh[43]: set: -0: unknown option

Line 43 corresponds to the line of the second "set -A WORDS $myline" in the for loop.
It seems the input for the set options are the digits of the number in the entry test file... I have no idea why this happens!
