How to initialize array with a larger number?
Language: ksh
OS: SunOS

I have been getting the 'subscript out of range' error when the below array variable gets elements greater that 1024. I understand that 1024 is the default size for 'set -A' dynamic array, but is there a way to initialize it with a larger number?

set -A arr `grep 'some pattern' filename`

Is there any other alternative to initilize arrays?

Thanks,
-CB

Older versions of ksh are limited to 1024 elements in an array.

Get a newer version of ksh (or use bash).

Code:
arr=( $(grep 'some pattern' filename) )

(The same syntax works in ksh93.)
