Array with special Characters
Hi,

I would write a shell script to execute a series of command. However, if the cmd contains "-" in the array. It fails to do so.

I'd tried use ', " or \ but get the same result.

Quote:
#!/bin/bash

function checkConfig ()
{
for process in ${diskInfo[@]}
do
eval "${process}"
done
}

# Disk info details to be tar into tape
diskInfo=( 'df -k' "/sbin/fdisk -l" "cat /etc/fstab" )

checkConfig

Output:

NAME

       cmdk - common disk driver

SYNOPSIS

       cmdk@target, lun : [ partition | slice ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  cmdk  device  driver  is  a  common interface to various disk devices. The driver supports magnetic fixed disks and magnetic removable
       disks.

       The block-files access the disk using the system's normal buffering mechanism and are read and written  without	regard	to  physical  disk
       records. There is also a "raw" interface that provides for direct transmission between the disk and the user's read or write buffer. A sin-
       gle read or write call usually results in one I/O operation; raw I/O is therefore considerably more efficient when many bytes are transmit-
       ted. The names of the block files are found in /dev/dsk; the names of the raw files are found in /dev/rdsk.

       I/O  requests  to the magnetic disk must have an offset and transfer length that is a multiple of 512 bytes or the driver returns an EINVAL
       error.

       Slice 0 is normally used for the root file system on a disk, slice 1 as a paging area (for example, swap), and slice 2 for backing  up  the
       entire fdisk partition for Solaris software. Other slices may be used for usr file systems or system reserved area.

       Fdisk partition 0 is to access the entire disk and is generally used by the fdisk(1M) program.

FILES

       /dev/dsk/cndn[s|p]n     block device (IDE)

       /dev/rdsk/cndn[s|p]n    raw device (IDE)

			       where:

			       cn	controller n

			       dn	lun n (0-7)

			       sn	UNIX system slice n (0-15)

			       pn	fdisk partition(0)
