If I understand what you're trying to do, and I'm not sure that I do (since you didn't supply any sample input that would cause anything to be output), you might want to try the following:
If you really want the leading space before the list of arguments passed to prying.sh remove the + 1 from the substr().
One might guess that you're using an Ubuntu Linux distribution from your command prompt, but you haven't given us any indication of what shell you're using. Although written and tested using a Korn shell, the above should work with any POSIX-conforming shell. If you're using a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.

I'm using korn shell to connect to oracle, retrieve certain values, put them in a list, and iterate through them. While this method works, I can't help but think there is an easier method.
If you know of one, please suggest a shorter, more efficient method.

ucblinks(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands ucblinks(1B)NAME
ucblinks - adds /dev entries to give SunOS 4.x compatible names to SunOS 5.x devices
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/ucblinks [-e rulebase] [-r rootdir]
DESCRIPTION
ucblinks creates symbolic links under the /dev directory for devices whose SunOS 5.x names differ from their SunOS 4.x names. Where possi-
ble, these symbolic links point to the device's SunOS 5.x name rather than to the actual /devices entry.
ucblinks does not remove unneeded compatibility links; these must be removed by hand.
ucblinks should be called each time the system is reconfiguration-booted, after any new SunOS 5.x links that are needed have been created,
since the reconfiguration may have resulted in more compatibility names being needed.
In releases prior to SunOS 5.4, ucblinks used a nawk rule-base to construct the SunOS 4.x compatible names. ucblinks no longer uses nawk
for the default operation, although nawk rule-bases can still be specifed with the -e option. The nawk rule-base equivalent to the SunOS
5.4 default operation can be found in /usr/ucblib/ucblinks.awk.
OPTIONS -e rulebase Specify rulebase as the file containing nawk(1) pattern-action statements.
-r rootdir Specify rootdir as the directory under which dev and devices will be found, rather than the standard root directory /.
FILES
/usr/ucblib/ucblinks.awk sample rule-base for compatibility links
