How to variables to cut command in unix for -f option -

i need parse sql file , pull statements.

for example sample.sql this

alter table add column(c1 varchar(20)); alter table add column(c2 varchar2(10)); 

now want write script in below manner.

#!/bin/ksh file in sample.sql     echo $file     no_of_statement=`grep ";" $file|wc -l`     echo $no_of_statement     iterator=1     statement=""     while [ $iterator -le $no_of_statement]                     echo "inside while loop"             statement=`cat $file`             statement1=`echo $statement | cut -d";" -f "${iterator}"`             echo $statement1             iterator=$iterator+1         done done 

if change [ $iterator -le $no_of_statement] [ $iterator -le $no_of_statement ]

and iterator=$iterator+1 iterator=$(($iterator+1))

it prints queries:

sample.sql 2 inside while loop alter table add column(c1 varchar(20)) inside while loop alter table add column(c2 varchar2(10))
