I am currently creating a ksh script with an array.

I was wondering if it was some how possible to call an element of an array with a variable:

e.g something like this, but not this as it does not work:

(Toggle Plain Text)

echo ${array_varible[$x]}

rather then:

(Toggle Plain Text)

echo ${array_varible[1]}

any feed back would be great

try:

(Toggle Plain Text)

let i=0
while (( i < ${#Arr[*]} )) 
do
   echo "${Arr[i]}"
   let i=i+1
done
