The resulting array should hold each digit as an element.
Thanks a lot for any help -A
Next time please use code tags.
Here is the bash solution:
Code:
$ A=147921231432545436547568678679870
$ set -- $(for i in $(seq 0 $((${#A} - 1)));do printf "%s " ${A:$i:1};done)
$ echo $*
1 4 7 9 2 1 2 3 1 4 3 2 5 4 5 4 3 6 5 4 7 5 6 8 6 7 8 6 7 9 8 7 0
... or awk solution:
Code:
set -- $(awk -v v="$A" 'BEGIN{split(v,a,"");for (i=1;i<= length(v);i++) printf "%s ",a[i]}')
