If you are not really that much concerned with the REAL number of fields, and you expect a fixed number of fields, you will get the same results nevertheless by directly poking into the array returned.
e.g.
Quote:
$fifthField = defined($s_format[4]) || $s_format[4];
That's probably the cause they put it like that, although it seems to be strange still.

Hi! I'm doing bash shell scripting and would like to know if bash had something similar to perl's split function? Ultimately, I want to split two strings (delimeter = '.') and compare each of their values. Thus, I figured putting them in an array would be easiest.
So i.e.:

gd_strings
gd_strings(3) GETDATA gd_strings(3)
NAME
gd_strings -- retrieve a list of string values from a dirfile
SYNOPSIS
#include <getdata.h>
const char **gd_strings(DIRFILE *dirfile);
DESCRIPTION
The gd_strings() function queries a dirfile(5) database specified by dirfile and returns a read-only list of values of the all STRING type
fields defined in the database. Notably, this list does not include /META subfields.
The dirfile argument must point to a valid DIRFILE object previously created by a call to gd_open(3).
The array returned will be de-allocated by a call to gd_close(3) and should not be de-allocated by the caller. The list returned should
not be assumed to be in any particular order, although it is guaranteed to be in the same order as the list of STRING fields returned by
gd_field_list_by_type(3). The array is terminated by a NULL pointer. The number of strings in the array can be obtained from a call to
gd_nfields_by_type(3).
The caller may not modify any strings in the array, or the array itself. Doing so may cause database corruption. The pointer returned is
guaranteed to be valid until gd_strings() is called again with the same arguments, or until the array is de-allocated by a call to
gd_close(3).
A corresponding list of names for these fields may be obtained by calling gd_field_list_by_type(3).
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, gd_strings() returns a pointer to an array of strings containing the values of all the STRING fields defined in
the dirfile database. If no strings are defined in the database, NULL is returned. On error it returns NULL and sets the dirfile error to
a non-zero error value. Possible error values are:
GD_E_ALLOC
The library was unable to allocate memory.
GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
The supplied dirfile was invalid.
The dirfile error may be retrieved by calling gd_error(3). A descriptive error string for the last error encountered can be obtained from
a call to gd_error_string(3).
