I noticed several syntax errors in your script.
  • If and elif conditional expressions missing blank spaces
  • Use -eq instead for numerical comparison
  • One can increment variable within (( )) without a $
  • Variable assignment $i=0 is incorrect. Remove the $
  • Array assignment missing $ sign before variable: file1

Here is the code with corrections:-
Code:
while read file1
do
        echo $file1
        echo $i
        if [ $i -eq 1 ]; then
                arr1[$j]="$file1"
                (( i++ ))
        elif [ $i -eq 2 ]; then
                arr1[$j]="$file1"
                (( i++ ))
        else
                i=0
                (( j++ ))
        fi
done

parse_dynamic_clustertoc(1M)                              System Administration Commands                              parse_dynamic_clustertoc(1M)

NAME
parse_dynamic_clustertoc - parse clustertoc file based on dynamic entries SYNOPSIS
cdrom/export/exec/sparc.Solaris_2.x/sbin/install.d/parse_dynamic_clustertoc cdrom/export/exec/i386.Solaris_2.x/sbin/install.d/parse_dynamic_clustertoc DESCRIPTION
This script parses the clustertoc file before the suninstall(1M) process is run. parse_dynamic_clustertoc is called by a modified syscon- fig script on the install CD. When parse_dynamic_clustertoc runs, it reads the clustertoc and when it encounters SUNW_CSRMBRIFF lines, it either checks the platform using the script's builtin function, or calls an external script. The script exits with a 0 if the cluster entry is included, otherwise it will be ignored. If the cluster entry is to be included, the SUNW_CSRMBRIFF =(test test_arg)cluster line is converted to SUNW_CSRMEMBER =cluster. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Checking For an SX Framebuffer The following is an example of a simple external test to check for an SX Framebuffer. The entry in the clustertoc file is shown and fol- lowing that is the script that must be placed in the install.d/dynamic_test directory. SUNW_CSRMBRIFF=(smcc.dctoc sx)SUNWCsx #! /bin/sh # # Likewise, this file is expected to live under $(TESTDIR). # case "$1" in sx) prtconf -p | grep 'SUNW,sx' 1> /dev/null;; esac FILES
