thanks for the reply.

i will need some sort of for loop to get the input of numbers
connected with the strings in the array. if I do this loop after
a pre-check it still gives me the same problem? Smilie

Code:
    for hostnum in $( echo "$input" | tr , " " ) ; do
      if [ "$hostnum" -eq 0 -o "$hostnum" -gt $[$hostnumbers-1] ]; then
        echo "Number \"$hostnum\" doesn't match existing values, please try again."
        List_Hosts
      fi
    done
    for hostnum in $( echo "$input" | tr , " " ) ; do
      HI_HOSTS=$( echo "$HI_HOSTS${hostlist[$hostnum]} " )
    done
