Reading columns from a text file and to make an array for each column
Hi,
I am not so familiar with bash scripting and would appreciate your help here.
I have a text file 'input.txt' like this:
2 3 4
5 6 7
8 9 10
I want to store each column in an array like this
a ={2 5 8}, b={3 6 9}, c={4 7 10}
so that i can access any element, e.g b[1]=6 for the later use.
