Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Create a bash array from a flat file of whitespaces only. Post 303012525 by wisecracker on Monday 5th of February 2018 12:56:17 PM

Hi RudiC...
Yes I do mean ASCII character '0x20'...
'stat' does not have the '-c' option and 'man stat' does not show any alternative.
'seq' is forced into error too:-
(/tmp/ARRAY does exist in case you ask.)
Code:

AMIGA:barrywalker~> for i in $(seq $(stat -c%s /tmp/ARRAY)); do ARRAY[i]=" "; done
stat: illegal option -- c
usage: stat [-FlLnqrsx] [-f format] [-t timefmt] [file ...]
usage: seq [-w] [-f format] [-s string] [-t string] [first [incr]] last
AMIGA:barrywalker~> man stat
AMIGA:barrywalker~> _

Thanks for trying...
