Please post the entire output and the complete error message.
The first think that comes to mind is that the script is interpreted by a shell different than yours (i.e. check the shebang).

#my script is file named "q" and input comes from file named "file1"

Please post the entire script. You can also try executing the code with a different shell. Try with bash:

bash ./q

some homework and got the solution.

my default shell interpreter is bsh/sh
adding a line at the beginning was the trick
SHELL=/bin/ksh

thank u anyway

make sure your 'script' is interpreted by the same shell interpreter as you're using for your 'command line', i.e. specify a proper '#!/bin/<myCLIshell>' in your script.
