Hi guys and gals. I need a little scripting help. I need an array, but
I need to represent the index with a variable. Everything looks like
it's working through the for loop, but when printing the values, I get
empty strings.
quick sample script:
#!/bin/bash
# Begin tempscript
somelist="a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z"
declare -a arrayname
count=0
# Assign values
for i in $somelist; do
arrayname[$count]=$i
let count++
done
# Now print the values
tmpcount=$count
count=0
while [ $count -lt $tmpcount ]; do
echo $arrayname[$count]
let count++
done
# End tempscript
AFAICT, all looks correct, but the values are all empty. I know I'm
overlooking something obvious, but I just can't see it.
