For i in $userarray[@] is one line off

[mac9968]

Hello,
I have searched the forum, but am unable to find direction on my issue.

I have s simple BASH script below

#!/bin/bash
#
###########################
userarray=$(cat test|awk 'BEGIN {FS="\t"}; {print $1}'|sort -u)
echo "USERID              #of occurances"
for  i in $userarray[@]
do
printf "%s\t%s" "$i";grep -c $i test
done

This script cat's a file called test, pulls out the first field and pipes to sort -u so that only unigue userid show up. I then take that into a for loop, to execute a grep -c, so that I may know how many times a userid is in the file 'test'

Here is where the trouble comes in. The last userid has [@] attached as if it is part of the username and therefore finds no userid info the the file "test" Below is the output. (note the final userid is xr400709[@] and fouond "0" times
USERID #of occurances

Sorry for the lengthy post, thanks in advance for your help.

Remove the "[@]" from "for i in $userarray[@]", it's not necessary.
