Hi,

Thanks , the script worked well in ksh, now using your script each variable can be applied for each line ,
It is very helpful to me , But i am getting error while trying to use while loop or until after "eval" to get variable array's each element.
I will search the forum to get suitable result, meanwhile if anybody has solution it could be fine for me.
I should not expect more anyway i will workaround to get and if anyone knows Please do let me know.

Code:
$more test.txt
111|22|33|44|55|aa|bb|cc
dd|ee|ff|gg|ii|jj|kk|ll|mm|nn|oo|pp

Code:
$more test_script_6.ksh
#! /usr/bin/ksh
WORD=0
i=0
while IFS=$'\|' read -A WORD$((++i)); do
eval echo -e WORD$i "\\\t" $\{#WORD$i[@]} "\\\t" $\{WORD$i[@]}
echo -e "WORD2 WORD2[3]=${WORD2[3]}"
#j=0
#until [[ $j == "$\{#WORD$i[@]}" ]]; do
#echo -e WORD$i WORD$i[$j]=${WORD$i[$j]}
#j=$((j + 1))
#done
;done < test.txt

Code:
$./test_script_6.ksh
WORD1    8       111 22 33 44 55 aa bb cc
WORD2 WORD2[3]=
WORD2    12      dd ee ff gg ii jj kk ll mm nn oo pp
WORD2 WORD2[3]=gg


Code:
$more test_script_6.ksh
#! /usr/bin/ksh
WORD=0
i=0
while IFS=$'\|' read -A WORD$((++i)); do
eval echo -e WORD$i "\\\t" $\{#WORD$i[@]} "\\\t" $\{WORD$i[@]}
echo -e "WORD2 WORD2[3]=${WORD2[3]}"
j=0
until [[ $j == "$\{#WORD$i[@]}" ]]; do
echo -e WORD$i WORD$i[$j]=${WORD$i[$j]}
j=$((j + 1))
done
;done < test.txt

Code:
$ksh -x test_script_6.ksh
+ WORD=0
+ i=0
test_script_6.ksh: line 3: syntax error at line 9: `$' unexpected

tried with "while" also same error.

Thanks,
Regards,
karthikram
