Corona,

I dont get what you mean. I have run the latest script i posted just above your post. I was able to assign the file names to the array. I am not sure how to look at the values stored in the array.

I need some help trying to print the values in the array.

Hello All,

Here is the code i wrote to print the values assigned in the variable:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd $HOME/HY_DUMP
num=0
for filename in *.sql
do


testarray[$num]=$filename
#num=`expr $num + 1`
(( num += 1 ))
echo $num
#echo "new yo"
done
testnum=$num
num=0
echo $testnum
for filename in *.sql
do
echo ${testarray[$num]}
echo $num
(( num += 1))

done

And this is the output i am recieving:

[/output]

The wierdest thing with the output is some of the values are getting concatenated with the previous values.
Is there anyway to flush the value stored in filename after the value is being assigned to the array so that we could avoid this problem?

platform::shell

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This  package  allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
       requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of  the  running  shell
       this  is  not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
       32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will  actually  run  the  installed
       packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS

       platform::shell::identify shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
	      This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
