Bash script for killing processes with a certain name

I've written the following script to kill processes named "client" and "server". When I run it I get:

: No such file or directory

The script is: 

#!/bin/bash 

function killThem {
        while read -a line; do
                kill -9 ${line[0]}
        done
}

ps | grep -w client | cut -d" " -f1 | killThem
ps | grep -w server | cut -d" " -f1 | killThem

Does anyone have any idea why I get this error?

you are reinventing killall but anyway:

 kill -9 ${line[0]}

should be 

 kill -9 ${line}
