Creating an unknown number of arrays
I need to create arrays like this:
cnt=0
{ while read myline; do
if [[ $myline = "<meas>"* ]];then
firstpass="${myline##<meas>}"
meas="${firstpass%%</meas>}"
tempmeas="${meas%%;*}"
MEAS$cnt[$cnt]=$tempmeas
print $cnt
print ${MEAS'$cnt'[$cnt]}
line1=$line1$meas$colon$stream$colon
((cnt=cnt+1))
fi
done } < $dspbfile
What I want is MEAS0[0]="First Meas"
MEAS1[0]="Second Meas"
MEAS2[0]="Third Meas"
I will not know how many I need until I am in this loop. Can I do something like this? Right now I am getting these errors:
./PDSBatch.ksh[318]: MEAS$cnt[0]=MFC: not found
0
./PDSBatch.ksh[320]: ${MEAS"\$cnt"[$cnt]}: bad substitution
Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

glgenvertexarrays
GLGENVERTEXARRAYS(3G) OpenGL 3.3 GLGENVERTEXARRAYS(3G)
NAME
glGenVertexArrays - generate vertex array object names
C SPECIFICATION
void glGenVertexArrays(GLsizei n, GLuint *arrays);
PARAMETERS
n
Specifies the number of vertex array object names to generate.
arrays
Specifies an array in which the generated vertex array object names are stored.
DESCRIPTION
glGenVertexArrays returns n vertex array object names in arrays. There is no guarantee that the names form a contiguous set of integers;
however, it is guaranteed that none of the returned names was in use immediately before the call to glGenVertexArrays.
Vertex array object names returned by a call to glGenVertexArrays are not returned by subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with
glDeleteVertexArrays().
The names returned in arrays are marked as used, for the purposes of glGenVertexArrays only, but they acquire state and type only when they
are first bound.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if n is negative.
SEE ALSO
glBindVertexArray(), glDeleteVertexArrays()
