Hi. I've tried the following and it seems to work. But maybe there's a better or more efficient way of doing this.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

typeset filename=dummyfile
typeset NEWLINE="${filename},::"
typeset PARAM_LIST=$(cat a.b)
set -A PLIST $PARAM_LIST

for PARAM in ${PLIST[@]}
do
        NEWLINE="${NEWLINE}"${PARAM}","
done

#drop the last ","
RES=${NEWLINE%?}
print "${RES}"
exit 0
