hi i am using bash shell to perform some subraction. here is what i have:
i have a while loop and am using i as a counter.
There is never any need to use expr in a bash script.
Quote:
for example array1[1] has -0.7145 and array2[1] has -0.7041.
when i try the above command, i get expr: non-numeric argument. any ideas how i can do this subtraction?
thanks
For floating-point arithmetic, you need an external command (like the shell , expr only does integer arithmetic; ksh93 is an exception).
:confused:
Is it possible to delete array elements dynamically.For instance,consider an array( a b c d ) ,now can i delete array (the third element 'c').So that the array becomes array(a b d)..
Thanks in advance!! (1 Reply)
Hi,
I am writing a bash shell script. I would like to execute a statement only if an array contains a specific value. For example:
array=(1 3 5 7)
I would like to execute the statement only if the value 3 is present in ${array}.
Thanks for any help,
