Sagri: Unfortunately, the Bourne shell doesn't support arrays. You're forced to use a unix tool such as awk or perl or, perhaps, go to a compiled language such as "C". Regards, Nails

Thanks Nails! I didn't know how to use Pearl in scripting. Can I use Pearl in Bourne shell script?? Would you share some of your bright ideas to proceed me further. Appreciated! Sagri

Yes. But it's called perl. Is ksh not an option? That gives arrays with e.g: set -A arrayname var1 var2 var3 print "The third element is '${arrayname[2]}'."
