Hi Folks,

I am trying to assign a value from the command to a dynamic variable. But I am not getting the desired output.. I am sure something is wrong so i need experts advise.

There will be multiple files like /var/tmp/server_1, /var/tmp/server_2, /var/tmp/server_3, having different server names in each file

Code:

cat /var/tmp/server_1
ssp01
ssp02
ssp03
ssp04

cat /var/tmp/server_2
ssp05
ssp06
ssp07

cat /var/tmp/server_3
ssp08
ssp09

The script below does read the file one by one, but i am finding the hard part in assigning the grep output to the dynamic variable SERVERS_${i}.

Code:

                FILE_NAME="/var/tmp/server"
                COUNT=`ls -ltr $FILE_NAME*| wc -l|awk '{print $1}'`
                for (( i=1; i<=${COUNT}; i++ ))
                do
                        SERVERS_FILE="${FILE_NAME}_${i}"
                        SERVERS_${i}="`grep ssp $SERVERS_FILE`"
                        echo Server names in SERVERS_${i}: "${SERVERS}_${i}"
                done

Eventually, i wanted to see the output

Server names in SERVERS_1: ssp01 ssp02 ssp03 ssp04
Server names in SERVERS_2: ssp05 ssp06 ssp07
Server names in SERVERS_3: ssp08 ssp09


Thanks in advance for your help !!
