declaring variable with for $(seq)

Hi guys. i have the following script:

Code:
1 #!/bin/bash
  2 linkcount=$(grep "/portal" tickets | wc -l)
  3 grep "/portal" tickets  > links
  4 for i in $(seq 1 $linkcount); do
  5 echo "BLYAT"
  6 let link$i=$(sed -n "$i"p links)
  7 echo $[link$i]
  8 done

the problem is, that "let" can`t define the variable, as variable looks like "/portal/ticket/show/090107-01666?status=open".
as you can see script should define a number of line(1-x) variables and echo them
Could you please suggest some options?

NAME
seq - print a sequence of numbers SYNOPSIS
seq [OPTION]... LAST seq [OPTION]... FIRST LAST seq [OPTION]... FIRST INCREMENT LAST DESCRIPTION
Print numbers from FIRST to LAST, in steps of INCREMENT. -f, --format=FORMAT use printf style floating-point FORMAT -s, --separator=STRING use STRING to separate numbers (default: ) -w, --equal-width equalize width by padding with leading zeroes --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit If FIRST or INCREMENT is omitted, it defaults to 1. That is, an omitted INCREMENT defaults to 1 even when LAST is smaller than FIRST. FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are interpreted as floating point values. INCREMENT is usually positive if FIRST is smaller than LAST, and INCREMENT is usually negative if FIRST is greater than LAST. FORMAT must be suitable for printing one argument of type `double'; it defaults to %.PRECf if FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are all fixed point decimal numbers with maximum precision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
