I have written a for loop to iterate through a file list in an array generated by a find command... I can only get it to make one pass but when I print the array it contains the two files that the find command was able to locate. #!/bin/ksh # Get current Month and Year: RUN_DATE=$(date '+%m%y') # Find all files in directory that are for current month and put list in array cd /path to files/here set -A INPUT_FILE_LIST - `find *FILE$RUN_DATE.txt` export INPUT_FILE_LIST echo Show what Array is holding: "${INPUT_FILE_LIST[*]}" #Loop Through List of Files to be processed for FILE in $INPUT_FILE_LIST ; do APP_NAME=`echo $FILE | cut -c1-3` echo Now Processing $FILE from $APP_NAME Application done # script ends

You display "${INPUT_FILE_LIST[*]}" but you are only looping through $INPUT_FILE_LIST. "for f in list; do..." doesn't need an array, just one or more words separated by ${IFS} (default is spaces and tabs). Therefore you need something like: for f in *$RUN_DATE.txt; do ... done btw, `` is the old Bourne shell expression evaluation syntax generously supported by Korn shell for backward compatibility. $() is Korn shell and IMHO way better.
