Hello List, I am new to shell scripting and programming in general, so please excuse my ignorance. :)
I am trying to setup a menu for some videos that I have so that you can select one and it will play it using xine or mplayer. My first attempt was to assign each video a variable name and then I could select which video and then play it. This is not very efficient because I always have to assign a new variable to a new video. I am now trying to populate an array using the 'ls' command. I have attached the script below. This gives me this as output to the screen: 0: video1 1: video10 2: video11 3: video2 4: video3 5: video4 6: video5 7: video6 8: video7 9: video8 10: video9 1) video9 #? I get the prompt waiting for me to make a selection "#?". I then have a 'printf' statement that should print out my selection using the index number but it is not working. When I choose '1' I get video9 even though it is index number 10. Why does it even print "1) video9" when it should be waiting for input from the user? http://old.nabble.com/file/p27316649/newsh2.sh newsh2.sh Thanks for any help, Jon -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Selecting-out-of-an-array-tp27316649p27316649.html Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
