Arrays

Am using bash

For eg:
Suppose i have a array

Code:
arr=(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12)

suppose i give input 5 to a script and script should able to print values greater than or equal to 5 like below:

Code:
Input:
5

Code:
output:
5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

Any attempt from your side?

Code:
a=5
for i in ${arr[@]}
do
  if[$a>=$i]
  then
  echo "$i"
  fi  
done

Not too far off. Try
Code:
for i in ${arr[@]}
   do if [ $a -le $i ]
         then   echo "$i"
      fi
   done
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

Make sure there's spaces around the square brackets, and use -le rather than >= .

OSX 10.7.5, default bash terminal...
I must be missing something as 5 to 12 in the OPs example is ambiguous, however I read it this way...
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# array.sh
read -p "Input number from 1 to 12:- " list
array=( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 )
for str in $( seq $(($list-1)) 1 $((${#array[@]}-1)) )
do
	printf "${array[$str]},"
done
# I will let you remove the last comma... ;o)

Result:-

@barry that only works because the array values happen to be equal to the array subscripts+1 ...

Hi Scrutinizer...

That is why I said the OPs requirements were ambiguous...

However I have modified the code to suit both conditions:-
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# array.sh
read -p "Input number from 1 to 12:- " list
array=( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 )
for str in $( seq $(($list-1)) 1 $((${#array[@]}-1)) )
do
	printf "${array[$str]},"
done
echo ""
# OR...
for str in $( seq $list 1 ${#array[@]} )
do
	printf "${str},"
done
echo ""
# I will let you remove the last comma... ;o)

Result:-
