Full Discussion: arrays and needing length of fields
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting arrays and needing length of fields Post 302198185 by ajgwin on Thursday 22nd of May 2008 09:49:30 AM

I was printing out each line as it came in and I know I can't do that since I don't know the length. So, if I put it all into an array like this:

array[0]=first row with all columns separated by a space
array[1]=second row with all columns separated by a space
.
.
.

Then when I want to print it, how do I get each individual column out? Is there such a things as a two-dimensional array in ksh? Is so, I think that would be my best bet.

I am keeping the max length in a sort of hash with the column as the key and getting the length of each value and overwriting with the max one.

If there is a 2 dimensional array in ksh, that might solve my problems.

Can I have an example of the printf statement you were talking about?

Thanks.

Allyson

clarcm.f(3)							      LAPACK							       clarcm.f(3)

NAME

       clarcm.f -

SYNOPSIS

   Functions/Subroutines
       subroutine clarcm (M, N, A, LDA, B, LDB, C, LDC, RWORK)
	   CLARCM copies all or part of a real two-dimensional array to a complex array.

Function/Subroutine Documentation
   subroutine clarcm (integerM, integerN, real, dimension( lda, * )A, integerLDA, complex, dimension( ldb, * )B, integerLDB, complex, dimension(
       ldc, * )C, integerLDC, real, dimension( * )RWORK)
       CLARCM copies all or part of a real two-dimensional array to a complex array.

       Purpose:

	    CLARCM performs a very simple matrix-matrix multiplication:
		     C := A * B,
	    where A is M by M and real; B is M by N and complex;
	    C is M by N and complex.

       Parameters:
	   M

		     M is INTEGER
		     The number of rows of the matrix A and of the matrix C.
		     M >= 0.

	   N

		     N is INTEGER
		     The number of columns and rows of the matrix B and
		     the number of columns of the matrix C.
		     N >= 0.

	   A

		     A is REAL array, dimension (LDA, M)
		     A contains the M by M matrix A.

	   LDA

		     LDA is INTEGER
		     The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >=max(1,M).

	   B

		     B is REAL array, dimension (LDB, N)
		     B contains the M by N matrix B.

	   LDB

		     LDB is INTEGER
		     The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >=max(1,M).

	   C

		     C is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDC, N)
		     C contains the M by N matrix C.

	   LDC

		     LDC is INTEGER
		     The leading dimension of the array C. LDC >=max(1,M).

	   RWORK

		     RWORK is REAL array, dimension (2*M*N)
