Need help with looping in Bash Shell Script

[Kishen Singh Punjabi]

Hi,

I am storing the results from DB in an array.

For example ,

Records from DB are as follows:
This is Record One
This is Record Two

when I store the above records in a array and print , it is displayed something as follows:
This is Record One This is Record Two

and when I use for loop for this I get 8 elements with each record split into 4. I understand that this is because for loop takes space as the separator of elements in the array.

I want to store each record from the database as an element in array.

Please help on how do I achieve it. Thanks for the help!!

Per this page, quoting allows embedding white space in array elements. There may be other helpful hints on that page if this one is not sufficient.
