Managers,

I am trying to achieve automatic array assignment in
ksh but seem to have problem with values that have
spaces in them.

For example, I can do this OK:
set -A PID `pgrep dt`

but I cannot assign this correctly:
set -A PID_with_command `pgrep -l dt`

I'd like to assign one entire line returned from
"pgrep -l" to one array variable. Is there a solution?

The man page on array usage in ksh is pretty sketchy.
Is there any good reference?

Zaigui
