Hi
I need some help with this script I'm trying to write.
This is what I have:
#!/bin/sh
Max=4
Count=1
until [ $Count -gt $Max ]
do
A$Count=" `...something...`"
Count=$(($Count+1))
done
exit 0
I want to put the result of "something" in a serie of variables with an
increasing number in it's name:
A1=result_of_something
A2=result_of_something
A3=result_of_something
A4=...
etc.
until $Count > $Max
I don't know how to create such a variables serie, well, at least the
example isn't working because the syntax A$Count generates an error and
I have no idea what it should be.
I don't know how to search for such a topic...
Can anyone tell me how this should be handled?
thanks in advance,
Arno
