I have a script that I wrote on a bash shell, I use it to sort files from a directory into various other directories. I have an variable set, which is an array of strings, I then check each file against the array and if it is in there the script sorts it into the correct folder.
But now I need to move this script to ash, the only part of the script that is giving my bother is the array part, as the other commands are fairly basic commands, if, mv, etc.
I've been searching around but haven't found what I am looking for. Would anyone have any Ideas on how to replace the array in my bash script.
I have an example of what I am doing, obviously in the full script the array is much longer, and there is no point in putting in what I am doing with the files as thats all good.
Essentially, I have the array set, I read the list of files then and using a while loop, I call the sortmove function with then searches the array.
