Shell Programming and Scripting

Hiya I am fairly new to UNIX and have been asked to write some scripts....

I am working in the korn shell. What I am trying to do is to go through a delimited file:

Testingline1;test;test
Testingline2;test;test

and place the lines into an Array so:

Array[1] = Testingline1;test;test
Array[2] = Testingline2;test;test
etc.etc.

Any ideas??? Cheers!!

Regards,

Thomas

Code:

i=0
while read str
do
arr[$((i=i+1))]=$str
done<file

Hi, thanks a million for the quick help!!

The array is created, however when I read from the array it looks like:

print ${arr[1]}
Testingline1;test;test: not found


Do you know how I can get rid of the not found thing??

Again thanks for your help! Thomas

use printf or echo

...because your shell is not KSH and probably BASH.
