Ok, I am sorry maybe I am really stupid. I try to do this:
Code:
strongid@ktl ~ $ pico sav1

   UW PICO(tm) 4.10                             File: sav1                                 Modified

#!/bin/bash
while read -A band (that's my file)
do
  echo "${#band[@]} elements"
  for STR in "${band[@]}
  do
  done
done
done < savas
                                          [ Wrote 9 lines ]

strongid@ktl ~ $ cat band (not empty)
jonas algis andrius
tomas rimas karolis
saulius justas domas

strongid@ktl ~ $ sh sav1 (try to do this script)
sav1: 5: Syntax error: Bad substitution

So with this error I cant go further to do read file and try to count symbols Smilie

NAME
grep - search a file for lines containing a given pattern SYNOPSIS
grep [-elnsv] pattern [file] ... OPTIONS
-e -e pattern is the same as pattern -c Print a count of lines matched -i Ignore case -l Print file names, no lines -n Print line numbers -s Status only, no printed output -v Select lines that do not match EXAMPLES
grep mouse file # Find lines in file containing mouse grep [0-9] file # Print lines containing a digit DESCRIPTION
Grep searches one or more files (by default, stdin) and selects out all the lines that match the pattern. All the regular expressions accepted by ed and mined are allowed. In addition, + can be used instead of * to mean 1 or more occurrences, ? can be used to mean 0 or 1 occurrences, and | can be used between two regular expressions to mean either one of them. Parentheses can be used for grouping. If a match is found, exit status 0 is returned. If no match is found, exit status 1 is returned. If an error is detected, exit status 2 is returned. SEE ALSO
cgrep(1), fgrep(1), sed(1), awk(9). GREP(1)
