Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,
i'm getting this error,
can somebody check?

file name is like this

Code:

951957039339019_560119_000523_2w47_3060_0038_6002.log

Code:

    filename=$(basename "$1")
                extension="${filename##*.}"
                filename="${filename%.*}"

                IFS="_" read -r -a array << "$filename"

                nFields=0
                for element in "${array[@]}"

i need to spilt all the numbers.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I don't have a clue of what you want to achieve, and neither is a line 9 around in your code snippet nor a single "<" sign.
A guess would be that it doesn't like that "<<" which, in recent shells, is a "here document" introducer, and you didn't follow the syntax therefor.

Please explain what you want to do, an give the full code so error messages will become more meaningful, helping us to help you.

My guess is that you've included a code snippet and the line number of the error message doesn't correspond.

consider:

Code:

IFS="_." read -r -a array << EOF
$filename
EOF

Notice I added "dot" to your list of IFS chars.
