create array holding characters from sring then echo array.
Hi,

I wish to store $string1 in $string1array[] a character in each array element.
Then i wish to echo the entire array to the screen so that it reads as the normal string again.

I have been trying with the code below but does not work. Please help...

To put string into array:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
length=$ ## Int length of string1
 noletter=1
 cnt=1
 x=0
while [ $noletter -le $length ]
do
  set -- $( echo $string1 | cut -c${cnt} )
  string1array[$x]=$1
  noletter=$(( noletter + 1 ))
  cnt=$(( cnt + 1 ))
  x=$(( $x + 1 ))
done

to echo array:

Code:
y=0
length = ##integer length of word
echo "Array is: "
while [ $y -lt $length ]
do
  echo -ne "${string1array[$y]} "
  y=$(( y + 1 ))
done

substr_compare

SUBSTR_COMPARE(3)							 1							 SUBSTR_COMPARE(3)

substr_compare - Binary safe comparison of two strings from an offset, up to length characters

SYNOPSIS

       int substr_compare (string  $main_str, string  $str, int  $offset, [int	$length], [bool  $case_insensitivity = false])

DESCRIPTION

       substr_compare(3) compares $main_str from position $offset with $str up to $length characters.

PARAMETERS

	      o $main_str
		- The main string being compared.

	      o $str
		- The secondary string being compared.

	      o $offset
		- The start position for the comparison. If negative, it starts counting from the end of the string.

	      o $length
		-  The	length	of  the comparison. The default value is the largest of the length of the $str compared to the length of $main_str
		less the $offset.

	      o $case_insensitivity
		- If $case_insensitivity is TRUE, comparison is case insensitive.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns < 0 if $main_str from position $offset is less than $str, > 0 if it is greater than $str, and 0 if they are equal. If  $offset	is
       equal  to  or greater than the length of $main_str, or the $length is set and is less than 1 (prior to PHP 5.6), substr_compare(3) prints a
       warning and returns FALSE.
