Can someone please provide sample code that utilizes arrays. Or please direct me to a web site that provides good explanations onhow to implement arrays in shell scripts.

Example:
Name[1]="Fred" Name[2]="Joe" print ${Name[*]}
The first 2 commands assign Fred and Joe to slots 1 and 2 in the array (I could have used 0, but that confuses new people). The third command will output:
Fred Joe
Counting the array members is done by:
print ${#Name[*]}
Print the first member of the array:
print ${Name[1]}
Print the second member of the array:
print ${Name[2]}
And there you have all you need to know to create your very own array.
