reference dir ../common in script

[OnTheEdge]

I'm trying to check for a directory and create it if it doesn't exist as
follows:

CommonDir="../common"
if [ -d ${CommonDir} ]; then
   mkdir "${CommonDir}"
fi

It works from the command line, but my script doesn't seem to like it and I
can't figure it out.

Thanks for any help,
Duane

delete elements from an array...

[OnTheEdge]

I'm having a problem getting this to work. I'm currently doing this using a
file instead of an array, but it is too slow. Here's what I'm trying to do:

For each record in my main array (array1), I want to get a match out of
array2 and append it to the array1 record. After I get the match, I want to
delete that record from array2.

For example, array2 looks something like this:
Ohio Columbus
Ohio Cleveland
Texas Dallas
Texas Austin

I want to find the first occurrence of 'Ohio' and append Ohio and Columbus
to the array1 record. Then I want to remove the 'Ohio Columbus' record from
the array so I don't pick it up the next time I search on Ohio.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Duane

loop through records

[OnTheEdge]

All, I'm trying to figure out how to loop through an array of records (if
possible) and reference fields in that record, but I've only been able to
reference the entire array (array[0]) or when assigned with parens, there is
no concept of a row...

#!/bin/bash

array1="187431346 0323 mirrored 11866
187431346 0324 mirrored 11866
187431346 0325 mirrored 11866
187431346 0326 mirrored 11866"

element_count1=${#array1[*]}
echo $element_count1

number_of_elements=${#arra...@]}

echo '- ARRAY-1'

for REC in "${array1[*]}"
do
  echo "Field 1: ${REC[0]}  Field 2: ${REC[1]}"
done

I would like to see something like this:
Field 1: 187431346   Field 2: 0323
Field 1: 187431346   Field 2: 0324
Field 1: 187431346   Field 2: 0325
Field 1: 187431346   Field 2: 0326

Thanks
