Description:
Indexing array variables doesn't work for ranges starting not at
the first element. The manual says:
'${PARAMETER:OFFSET:LENGTH}'
... If PARAMETER is an array name indexed by `@' or `*', the
result is the LENGTH members of the array beginning with
`${PARAMETER[OFFSET]}'.
With an index of [EMAIL PROTECTED], the result is nothing unless OFFSET
is the
last element.
This has worked properly with bash 2, I believe.
I assume I am wasting my time reporting this, but there isn't a
searchable bug database mentioned on
http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/bash.html
Repeat-By:
showargs() {
echo "argv (#=$#): ""$@"
i=0
while [ $i -le $# ]; do
echo "argv[$i]:" "'${!i}'"
i=$(($i + 1))
done
}
updates=( update update/deltas )
showargs [EMAIL PROTECTED]
showargs "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1}"
echo --
updates=( update update/deltas word3 )
showargs [EMAIL PROTECTED]
showargs "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1}"
showargs "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2}"
This produces:
argv (#=2): update update/deltas
argv[0]: './mkcd/mkmd5'
argv[1]: 'update'
argv[2]: 'update/deltas'
argv (#=0):
argv[0]: './mkcd/mkmd5'
