How to loop through array who's name is entered in command line?
Say I have a ksh program called test.ksh which has several defined arrays inside it such as array1,array2,array3...These arrays contain strings.
I also have a method in the program:
Code:
for x in $1
do
....(#do something)
done
So, when the user enteres: ./test.ksh array1, I want to loop thruogh the contents of array1 using my for loop. However, with the for loop I have, the program takes the user's entry as a string and tries to perform the actions on that. How do I make it so the program will look for the array which the user enters?

I have a script like this--
#!/bin/ksh
echo "To pad a 0 before digits from 1-9"
for i in $*
do
echo $i | sed 's//'0'/g'

Help me in modifying this script.
