hi Gurus, please why is this happening:
when i run this:
when i keep on entering the values, the while loop runs uptil c=7 for c=8 it gives error like:
when in Ist code ,if i make r=1, then it becomes an infinite loop. secondly when i uncomment if-else & for code in the script it skips the code with in 'else' and put null in the array variables .
still the problem of "value too great for base (error token is "08")" remains the same for r=0 & n>=8,for r=1 & n>=8 the 'while loop' breaks as per the condition.
heres the output:
what i actually wanted to do was, to read the values of variable until ctrl+d or ctrl+c or may be with any combination with 'ctrl' or 'Alt' if u can suggest. And when this shortkey is pressed i want to perform some custom actions.
You use 01 02 03 04 .. 07 as array indices, which is unusual. I suspect these number get interpreted as octal numbers instead of decimal numbers, hence 08 would be to big for the base and it should be 10 (equals decimal 8).

thanks scruitizer!! that could be the case!!!!!!
But what about the problem of skipping the code when i uncomment 'if-else & for' code. the script is behaving differently!!
You are doing a lexicographical comparison (">") instead of a numerical comparison ("-gt"). So instead of
you should use
or preferably:
or use an arithmetic evaluation:
