Full Discussion: ksh Array name determined at runtime
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting ksh Array name determined at runtime Post 302794597 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 16th of April 2013 10:59:11 AM

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.
