I now wish to print out the contents of the array using a loop.

I'm using

my_array_size=${#array[*]}
i=0; while [ $my_array_size > $i ]; do echo $i ${array[$i]}; let i=$i+1; done

however it will not stop at the last entry in the loop. It goes on to print 1024 empty files numbered 0-1023

what am I doing wrong?

ARRAY_FLIP(3)								 1							     ARRAY_FLIP(3)

array_flip - Exchanges all keys with their associated values in an array

SYNOPSIS
array array_flip (array $array) DESCRIPTION
array_flip(3) returns an array in flip order, i.e. keys from $array become values and values from $array become keys. Note that the values of $array need to be valid keys, i.e. they need to be either integer or string. A warning will be emitted if a value has the wrong type, and the key/value pair in question will not be included in the result. If a value has several occurrences, the latest key will be used as its value, and all others will be lost. PARAMETERS
o $array - An array of key/value pairs to be flipped. RETURN VALUES
Returns the flipped array on success and NULL on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_flip(3) example <?php $input = array("oranges", "apples", "pears"); $flipped = array_flip($input); print_r($flipped); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [oranges] => 0 [apples] => 1 [pears] => 2 ) Example #2 array_flip(3) example : collision <?php $input = array("a" => 1, "b" => 1, "c" => 2); $flipped = array_flip($input); print_r($flipped); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [1] => b [2] => c ) SEE ALSO
