Variables = "asd,rgbh,(,rty,got,),sroe,9034,"
i need to assign the variables into arrays..

var[1]=rgbh.. and so on
how do i do this. i need to reuse the values stored in the arrays.Is it possible.. ?
how do i do it using awk command?

Code:

echo "asd,rgbh,(,rty,got,),sroe,9034," | awk -F"," '{ split($0, arr, ","); }END{ for ( i in arr ) { print arr[i] } }'

in bash

hi matrix.
i need to reuse the variables ..meaning... if i say echo "$arr[1]" i m getting the output as [1].. i want the value stored in arr[1]. how do i get that?

hi ghostdog,
i need the script in ksh .. can plz help me with that.. ?

array variable within the awk contains the values and it could be readily used.
arr[1]
arr[2]

Not sure what you are looking for.

hi madan .. i need to reuse the array variable outside the awk command..
echo ",asd,rgbh,(,rty,got,),sroe,9034," | awk -F"," '{ split($0, arr, ","); }END{ for ( i in arr ) { print arr[i] } }'
echo " $arr[1]"..
here the echo command does not give me the values stored in arr[1]..
