Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How do I cat into an array or is it not possible? Post 302694801 by pierpier on Friday 31st of August 2012 12:07:38 PM

just one more way to do it...

Here is how i'd do that :
Code:
while read line ; do 

  array[${#array[@]}]="$line"

done <<<"$(grep -vE "^[#|*]" test.txt)"

And here is what inside the array after :

Code:
bash-3.2$ echo ${array[0]}
mnl1:/opt/oracle/9.2.0.8:N:::N
bash-3.2$ echo ${array[1]}
mkt1:/opt/oracle/11.2.0:N:::N
bash-3.2$ echo ${array[2]}
cal1:/opt/oracle/11.2.0:N:::N


EDIT : i've been caught in UUOC ! Shame on me!!! I updated my mistake.

IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		      IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream(3pm)

NAME
"IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream" - stream-based protocols using lines of text SYNOPSIS
Most likely this class will be subclassed to implement a particular network protocol. package Net::Async::HelloWorld; use strict; use warnings; use base qw( IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream ); sub on_read_line { my $self = shift; my ( $line ) = @_; if( $line =~ m/^HELLO (.*)/ ) { my $name = $1; $self->invoke_event( on_hello => $name ); } } sub send_hello { my $self = shift; my ( $name ) = @_; $self->write_line( "HELLO $name" ); } This small example elides such details as error handling, which a real protocol implementation would be likely to contain. DESCRIPTION
EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters: on_read_line $line Invoked when a new complete line of input is received. PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure": on_read_line => CODE CODE reference for the "on_read_line" event. METHODS
$lineprotocol->write_line( $text ) Writes a line of text to the transport stream. The text will have the end-of-line marker appended to it; $text should not end with it. AUTHOR
