Accepting multiple values in a variable at run time
Hi,

Below is starting entry of my script

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
Usage()
{
	print "Usage: $0 ID OPTION SERVER"
	print "<br>Where :"
	print "<br>Enter your ID into PARAM1, OPTION in the PARAM2 and SERVER in the PARAM3  field"
	print "<br>ID should be a valid ID"
	print "<br>OPTION should be either BOUNCE or STATUS"
	print "<br>SERVER should be a valid server name<br>"
}

ID=`print $1 | sed 's/"//g'`
OPTION=`print $2 | sed 's/"//g'`
SERVER=()
for (( i = 1; i <= 4; i++ ))
do
	SERVER[i]=`print $3 | sed 's/"//g'`
done

typeset -u ID_UPPER
typeset -u OPTION_UPPER
typeset -u SERVER_UPPER
ID_UPPER=${ID}
OPTION_UPPER=${OPTION}
SERVER_UPPER=${SERVER}
TOTALSERVER=`print ${SERVER_UPPER} | wc -w`

The things i am looking for are:
1. Those 3 variables are accepting values at run time. ID and OPTION will have one value at a time but SERVER may have one or more than one values
2. I need to figure out how to hold the values passed by the user in $3 (third variable). The values can be one or more than one. Max no. of servers will be 4.
3. For TOTALSERVER, i need to figure out how many SERVER values user has passed (or no. of values variable SERVER is holding).

Let me know if you need more details
Thanks in advance.
