Thanks vgersh
In my effort to simplify the problem, I think I got it out of context.
The actual line I'm getting the error on (and am still getting the error) is
eval v_another_variable_${v_iteration}="$v_another_variable_${v_iteration}""$v_different_variable_${v_ite ration}"
I am making an attempt to append the contects of v_different_variable_$(v_iteration} on to the contents of v_another_variable_${v_iteration}
Any further help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
Helen

Alternatively can you list all defined variables in awk?

Hi Everyone,
I was just curious if you are allowed to begin a variable name with a number. For example, I would really like to have the variable 8DAY_AVERAGE. But my shell script only seems to allow EIGHTDAY_AVERAGE. Is there a way I can get the former to work? I am using bash. Thanks a lot!
