jsmoriss,

Thank you for your fast reply!

Your example works, but as I mentioned in my first post, I have troubles with printing out values:

Quote:
All I could achieve was printing out the number of $n which was storing information.
Code:
for val in $*
do
        eval var$n="$val"
        n="`expr $n + 1`"
        echo $val$n
done

And the result is:

Code:
hallerx@ktl ~ $ sh dir1 10 5 9
1
2
3

I am sure I'm calling the output in a wrong way (echo line). How could I print out the values stored in this array?

Thanks for your help Smilie
