Help with korn shell in copying arrays
493291Feb 23 2006 — edited Feb 23 2006I have to copy an array to a temp variable and back after doing some functions. I am trying to see if it is possible to do without while loops.My closest try was
set -A temp ${THE_ARRAY[*]}
# restore array after some actions
set -A THE_ARRAY ${temp[*]}
The problem with above is that, the new restored array starts from 0 (subscript), instead of 1. This is very bad for my rest of the script, does anyone know a solution to this problem
