Very Computer

I have created an array in dtksh for doing the following:

  catArray[0]=/home/bmis/Servers
  catArray[1]=/home/bmis/Desktops
  catArray[2]=/home/bmis/Storage
  catArray[3]=/home/bmis/Networking

  do
    cd ${catArray[$i]}
    for dirs in *; do
      if [[ -d "$dirs" ]]; then
          dirArray="$dirArray ${catArray[$i]}/$dirs"
      fi
    done
  done

Using this array, I would like to do:

  do
    cd ${catDirArray[$i]}
    for dirs in *; do
      cd $dirs/$QUERY_STRING
      for files in *; do
          if [[ -e "$files" ]]; then
-------->   "${catDirArray[$i]##*/}Array"="${catDirArray[$i]##*/}Array $files"
          fi
      done
      cd ${catDirArray[$i]}
     done
  done

----> Points to the problem I'm encountering. I would like to
create a new array depending on where I'm at within my for loop.
So, I would like to have X # of new arrays created dependent on my
conditional "if [[ .. ]]"

Any idea how to accomplish this? I've tried for 2 days and can't
resolve it.

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

I must admit that I have read the specification of your problem
several times and still am not confident I completely understand
the nature of your request.

If your goal is to dynamically "invent" a variable name, one must
insert an "eval" because variable substitution occurs just once
and this hides the "indirection". Or one may use "typeset -n" to
create a "nameref" variable which could be an argument to be passed
to a function to do the "real" work.

Try (untested, my ISP doesn't have ksh93):

eval "${catDirArray[$i]##*/}Array=${catDirArray[$i]##*/}Array \$files"

Does this work for you?
