Retrieve multiple values for each iteration
Hi All,

I tried to retrieve multiple values using for/foreach loop in each iteration. But couldn't get it. Please help me.
Below are my try outs:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
foreach {i,j,k} {5150 5540 5149 5640 5151 5920 5362 5965 5147 5895 5061}
  echo $i,$j,$k
end

Error:
Code:
./mulcns.ksh[3]: foreach:  not found
,,
./mulcns.ksh[5]: end:  not found

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
for {i,j,k} in {5150 5540 5149 5640 5151 5920 5362 5965 5147 5895 5061}
do
echo $i $j $k
done

Error:
./mulcns.ksh[2]: {x,y,z}: is not an identifier
</code>

foreach is used in csh not ksh.

for {i,j,k} in {5150 5540 5149 5640 5151 5920 5362 5965 5147 5895 5061} is not proper Korn shell syntax for a for loop construct. Please read the man page.

form three values for each line, then use while to retrieve the values

Code:
 
while read a b c
do
echo $a
echo $b
echo $c
done < in.txt

make sure you have three values in each line in the in.txt file
