I am not asking to do my homework, but I need help. I have most of it done, I think... Here is what I am trying to do. I am trying to load a file into an array, so here is the code. What do I have wrong??
#!/bin/bash
filename=test
# cat test
#
# 1 2 3 4
# a b c d
declare -a array1
array1=( `cat "$filename"`) # Loads contents
# List file to stdout #+ of $filename into array1.
array1=( `cat "$filename" | tr '\n' ' '`)
# change linefeeds in file to spaces.
# Not necessary because Bash does word splitting,
#+ changing linefeeds to spaces.
echo ${array1[@]} # List the array.
# 1 2 3 4 a b c d
#
element_count=${#array1[*]}
echo $element_count # 8
#!/bin/bash
filename=test
# cat test
#
# 1 2 3 4
# a b c d
declare -a array1
array1=( `cat "$filename"`) # Loads contents
# List file to stdout #+ of $filename into array1.
array1=( `cat "$filename" | tr '\n' ' '`)
# change linefeeds in file to spaces.
# Not necessary because Bash does word splitting,
#+ changing linefeeds to spaces.
echo ${array1[@]} # List the array.
# 1 2 3 4 a b c d
#
element_count=${#array1[*]}
echo $element_count # 8
