Export Arrays in ksh
Hello everybody!
Why I can export arrays in ksh?
I trie this for exemplo:
In parent script
array[0]=a
array[1]=b
array[2]=c
export array
When I see the variable array in child script there are only first index.
For exemplo in child script
+echo ${array[*]}
a
But I want all index.
Any idea?
