hi era
I am used to programming in Matlab and C++ and in these languages you can refer to individual members of a variable (array) and compare their values to all the other members using 2 loops. how can i accomplish that in unix. For example
var2=$(users)
will return the current users but if a user is running two instances of a shell then that username will be returned twice. How can i trim the varible $var2 so that multiple occurrences of usernames are eliminated. i can use a for loop to loop through each member of the varible but then how do i compare it to the rest of the usernames in $var2.
I am referring to tutorials as well but most of them jus explain the general syntax of commands. i guess i am not referring to the right ones, will work on tht.

ENV(3) Library Functions Manual ENV(3)
NAME
env - environment variables
SYNOPSIS
bind #e /env
/env/var1
/env/var2
...
DESCRIPTION
The env device serves a one-level directory containing files with arbitrary names and contents. The intention is that the file name is the
name of an environment variable (see rc(1)), and the content is the variable's current value.
When a fork(2) system call creates a new process, both the parent and the child continue to see exactly the same files in the env device:
changes made in either process can be noticed by the other. In contrast, an rfork system call with the RFENVG bit set (see fork(2)) causes
a split: initially both process groups see the same environment files, but any changes made in one process group cannot be noticed by the
other. An rfork with RFCENVG splits and then clears the environment.
SEE ALSO
rc(1), fork(2)
SOURCE
/sys/src/9/port/devenv.c
BUGS
A write starting at an offset after the current extent of a file yields an error instead of zero filling.
