Hi
I am reading x lines from a text file into an array per line:
integer SCRIPT_LINES=0 while read VAR1 VAR2 VAR3 VAR4 VAR5 do .... SCRIPT_LINES=$SCRIPT_LINES+1 set -A SCRIPT_${SCRIPT_LINES} ${VAR1} ${VAR2} ${VAR3} ${VAR4} ${VAR5} ... done [/CODE=ksh]
This creates a number (SCRIPT_LINES) of arrays: SCRIPT_1, SCRIPT_2, SCRIPT_3, ....
Now I want to use the contents of these arrays one by one. Each array is read using a for loop:
[CODE=ksh] for var in `echo ${SCRIPT_1[*]}`; do echo $var nohup sqlplus -l / @$AFVM/$AA/scripts/$var.sql > $log_dir/$var"_"$dat.log 2>&1 & done [/CODE=ksh]
(starting up to 5 sql-scripts in background)
I want to make an outer loop to run thru all the arrays, substituting the _1, _2, _3 etc with $X, where X is sequence from 1 to SCRIPT_LINES. The obvious thing to do, was to change for statement to: [CODE=ksh] for var in `echo ${SCRIPT_$X[*]}`; do [/CODE=ksh]
but this is not allowed in ksh: invalid substitution. I have tried echoing etc, but I haven't a solution.
Is there a way to loop thru arrays the way I want - as suggested above or any other way ?
I am running AIX 5.3 with the old ksh (88), but have access to ksh93 and bash as well.
