Error Problem with Bash Script.

Hi guys!

I'm new to the forum and to the Bash coding scene.

I have the following code


Code:
paths[0]=/test/a
paths[1]=/test/b
keywords[0]=\"*car*\"
keywords[1]=\"*food*\"

for file in `find paths[] -type f -ctime -1 -name keywords[] -print 2>/dev/null`
do

   #.... do stuff here for every $file found

done

Basically Im trying to make a script that goes to X amount of [Paths] to check if theres a file with [Keyword] thats been there in the past 24 hours.

I would like to loop my path and keywords inside that "find" command and I dont seem to find a way. Ive tried using ${keyword[0]} and it doesnt work.

Any help or any other approach you suggest me will be welcome!

Thanks in advance.

NAME
maildirkw - set maildir message keywords SYNOPSIS
maildirkw [-c] [-l] [-a] [-r] {maildir} {message} [keyword...] maildirkw [-c] {-L} {maildir} DESCRIPTION
maildirkw modifies the Courier IMAP server compatible maildir message keywords. This command allows an easy way to set or clear custom IMAP keywords associated with a particular message. maildir is the pathname to a maildir, or a maildir folder. The -L option lists all messages in the maildir, and their associated keywords. message specified which message's keywords should be set. One or more keywords specifies a list of keywords to be set for this message. The specified list of keywords replaces any keywords presently set for the message, unless the -a or the -r option is specified. The -a option adds the keyword to existing keywords that are set for message. The -r removes keywords from message, leaving any remaining keywords set in place. The -l should be used if the Courier IMAP server's configuration file has the IMAP_USELOCKS option set. -l enables a compatible locking mechanism to update the message's keywords. -c enables case-sensitive keywords. IMAP keywords are normally case insensitive. -c needs to be used if the SMAP1[1] protocol extension is used, which uses case sensitive keywords. SEE ALSO
