Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users sed: -e expression #1, char 0: no previous regular expression Post 302688515 by RudiC on Sunday 19th of August 2012 01:54:11 PM

Looks like you've got two problems in your script - obviously both with the linewhile [ $j -le ${problem_arr[@]} ]
First: ${problem_arr[@]} will yield ALL array members and the shell should complain when trying to compare. I guess you want it to read ${#problem_arr[@]} which yields the count of members in array.
Second: You correctly start the loop at j=0, but you run it one too far up - ${problem_arr[${#problem_arr[@]}]} will be empty and thus sed complains. make the comparison [ $j -lt ... ] and it will fly.

qsort(3)						     Library Functions Manual							  qsort(3)

NAME
qsort - Sorts a table in place LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h> void qsort( void *base, size_t nmemb, size_t size, int (*compar) (const void *, const void *)); STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: qsort(): XPG4, XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. PARAMETERS
Points to the first entry in the table. Specifies the number of entries in the table. Specifies the size in bytes of each table entry. Points to the user-specified function to be used to compare pairs of table elements. The comparison function will be called with two parameters that point to the two elements to be compared. The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero, depending on whether the first element in the comparison is considered less than, equal to, or greater than the second element. DESCRIPTION
The qsort() function sorts a table having a specified number of entries. The contents of the table are sorted in ascending order according to a user-specified comparison function (the strcmp() function, for example). NOTES
The comparison function need not compare every byte, so arbitrary data may be contained in the elements in addition to the values being compared. When two members compare equal, their order in the sorted array is indeterminate. RELATED INFORMATION
Functions: bsearch(3), lsearch(3) Standards: standards(5) delim off qsort(3)
