Full Discussion: ksh Array name determined at runtime

For a starter, the value in square brackets has to be numeric, so color1 (or even colour1) would be illegal.

Try:-
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

typeset -A colour

colour[1]=red
colour[2]=blue
colour[3]=green
colour[4]=yellow

echo "Colour Array"
for index in "${!colour[@]}"; do
    print ">>> $index ${colour[$index]}"
done


tmpVar=colour
echo "$colour"

echo "Array value is ${colour[1]}"


I hope that this helps.

NAME

       times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell

SYNOPSIS

   sh
       times

   ksh
       times

DESCRIPTION

   sh
       Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.

   ksh
       Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.

       On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:

       1.  Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.

       2.  I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.

       3.  Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.

       4.  Words,  following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
           able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation  are  not
           performed.
