Hi,

I trying to create a shell script that will create a number of arrays named after list from a text file, and then to populate the new created arrays with the contents of another file that has some associations with the first....


...this bit is not the problem:-

for name in $Adminlist # name is individual admin name
do
Nodes=`cat $Source | grep $name`

set -A $name $Nodes

done

...the problem comes when I try to access elements of the dynamically created arrays...eg.

print ${$name[*]}

...errors with :-

./admins[32]: ${$name[*]}: 0403-011 The specified substitution is not valid for this command.

...I have tried a number of variants on this ( print ${name[*]}, print ${\$name[*]} ) but always get the same error


any help much appreciated

Cheers
