    what about (for ksh)
     
    $ cat qwert ("your grep")
    qqq
    aaa
    yyy
    www
    sss
    xxx

    $ l=$(cat qwert | xargs)
    $ echo $l
    qqq aaa yyy www sss xxx

    $ set -A VAR $l # create array VAR with elements from "list" $l

    $ echo ${VAR[*]} # display all elements of VAR
    qqq aaa yyy www sss xxx

    $ echo ${#VAR[*]} # number of elements in VAR
    6

    $ echo ${VAR[0]} # first element has index 0
    qqq

    $ echo ${VAR[${#VAR[*]}-1]} # last element
    xxx

    Hello,
     
    Quick, simple korn shell question:
     
    I have the result of grep and cut commands that shows multiple lines. For example:
     
    345trh
    hur88
    kjsdhf
    eryyt9
    333ret
     
    How can I divide these lines to feed into variables? That is, each of the above lines needs to be assigned to a variable.
     
    Thanks
