UNIX : Using arrays in KSH 



 #To create a array named "ARRAY" and set 4 values   

> set -A ARRAY a b c d  

 #To display the entire list of values in array  
 
> echo ${ARRAY[@]}  

 #To- display only value at a specific index  

> echo ${ARRAY[0]}  

 #To get number of elements in the array  

> echo ${#ARRAY[@]}  
 
 #To traverse through the list of elements in array   

> for i in ${ARRAY[@]}  
  do  
       echo $i  
  done  






In bash shell , the array is declared as 


ARRAY=(a b c d)






Rest for the access is same as korn shell.
