array and awk match function in SunOS 5.10
Hi Experts,

Need help in writing a shell script in SunOS 5.10. I want to use array but it is not running in SunOs where as it is running in unix. pls help
Want to print the alue store in array as below but it is giving error.

Code:
p[1]=1
p[2]=6
p[3]=15
p[4]=20
for i in 1 2 3 4
do
echo ${p[i]}
done

also awk match function in SunOS where as it is working fine in unix.

Code:
a= "this is an example" 
 
d[1]=`echo $a | awk '{ print match($0, "this")}'`
d[2]=`echo $a | awk '{ print match($0, "an")}'`
d[3]=`echo $a | awk '{ print match($0, "is")}'`
d[4]=`echo $a | awk '{ print match($0, "example")}'`
 
for i in 1 2 3 4
do
echo ${d[i]}
done

why it is not running in SunOS and how to run it, pls help

try this... in solaris use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk instead of awk

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
a="this is an example"

d[1]=`echo $a | /usr/xpg4/bin/awk '{ print match($0, "this")}'`
d[2]=`echo $a | /usr/xpg4/bin/awk '{ print match($0, "an")}'`
d[3]=`echo $a | /usr/xpg4/bin/awk '{ print match($0, "is")}'`
d[4]=`echo $a | /usr/xpg4/bin/awk '{ print match($0, "example")}'`

for i in 1 2 3 4
do
echo ${d[i]}
done

And the follwoing code works for me... may be try putting the interpreter
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

p[1]=1 
p[2]=6 
p[3]=15 
p[4]=20 
for i in 1 2 3 4 
do 
echo ${p[i]} 
done

Both the code tested in Solaris

regards,
Ahamed
