Scripting - Nested Arrays
I am having some problems trying to access nested arrays. I am using the Bash shell. Let's say I create 2 arrays and wish to put these two arrays into another array. e.g
Code:
reptile=("crocodile" "big lizard" "dinosaur")
bird=("flamingo" "big bird" "emu")
animals=(reptile bird)
I can access the values of the animals array by Code:
${animals[0]} #gives me reptile
I would like to be able to obtain the values in the reptile array through the animals array. I would like to be able to do something like Code:
tempbird=${animals[1]}
for everybird in $tempbird
.....
.....
....
the last bit of code above does not work. Could someone be so kind and to please help me out? thx in advance

I fairly sure this is not supported in bash. You could use python (www.python.org).

And you get more array variables, because of spaces in "big bird" etc. I would prefer perl. Regards
