Subject: Array index
Date: Mon, 03 Nov 1997 09:27:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <345D8AD8.88987BF@rrz.uni-hamburg.de> (raw)
What is the easiest way to find the index of a specific element in an
array, apart from using a for loop? The statement
(( i = array[(i)$value] ))
fails if $value contains special characters like parentheses. I tried
quotes on different parts of the expression, but without success.
Example:
x='a(b)'
arr=($x bla)
print $arr[(i)$x] # 3
print $arr[(i)"$x"] # 3
print $arr["(i)$x"] # zsh: bad math expression: unbalanced stack
Any ideas?
Bernd
