dynamically setting an array
Hi Gurus,

How do I dynamically set up an array. Below is my code

Code:
if [[ $tsk_count -gt 0 ]]
  then

  set ecomm_task_limit = '${ecomm_srvr[$j]}'
fi

Here, I want to set values in the array "${ecomm_srvr[$j]}" into ecomm_task_limit upon each iteration. Finally I want to display all the values in the new array "ecomm_task_limit" after all the iterations are complete.

Thanks in advance

Using Korn Shell Arrays
The following is the code snippet of an ksh array implementation,

PHP Code:
#!/bin/ksh

set -A arr Hello world!! Iam Nagarajan Ganesan
set -A NewArray

let count=0
while [[ count -le 4 ]] ; do
   NewArray[${#NewArray[*]}]=${arr[$count]};
   print "NewArr[$count]= \c"
   print ${NewArray[$count]}
   ((count=count+1))
done
print "The New Array Has: \c"
print ${NewArray[*]} 
OUTPUT:
PHP Code:
$  /tmp/arr.ksh
NewArr[0]= Hello
NewArr[1]= world!!
NewArr[2]= Iam
NewArr[3]= Nagarajan
NewArr[4]= Ganesan
The New Array Has: Hello world!! Iam Nagarajan Ganesan 
Hope this may help you. Please let us know if this doesn't work

Thanks

You have not mentioned how many iterations of top should run,so this will keep blocking on that statement.
Also the assignment line is incorrect.

Try this approach,
Code:
  set -A proc $(top -n 5 | grep siebmtshmw |awk '{print $6}')
  echo ${proc[*]}

Thanks
