declaring array and move to next line in shell script
Hi,

In shell script, I have a value and i like to move that value to a particular position in a file.

For example, if i have 20000909 then i like to move that to the 15 to 23
position in a file.

Is it possible to have array kind of thing in the shell ?
a[10] is array then
a[0-3] = 123
a[4-7] = 01239
a[8-10] = 128

how to perform this ?

Also how to move to next line ?

Hi,

Thanks for the bash arrays link.
Once i wrote the array in the file, i like to move to next line
how will it happen in shell script?

Since the array is in the loop,once first set of info is written during the
next loop, i want to start from the second line. So how i can move it
to next line ?
