I have to use KSH88, so going to BASH, perl etc. is not an option.
Below is a much simplified verison of what I am doing (aka ignore my cut command and i not increasing)
Code:
i=1
BIGSTRING="one two three four five six seven eight"
while [[ $i -le 10 ]]; do
typeset "STRING$i=`echo $BIGSTRING| cut -d' ' -f1-50`"
typeset -n NEWVAR="STRING$i"
do_stuff_here_w_NEWVAR
done
Namerefs are not available in KSH88
So how else i can accomplish the same thing? I need to echo a string through cut and set it to an increasing variable name based on $i then call the new variable.

I was wondering if there is anyway to use the curses library with ksh88. I saw Shell Curses function library which says I can use /usr/local/functions/shellcurses on ksh93 but I am on ksh88. I am on a HP-UX box. (0 Replies)

Hello,
