An Array of Variables?

#1

Anyone knwo how I can build an array of variables? As you can see I have INBOXFIND and INBOXMOVE but when I try to call them in my find it is giving me a directory not found error. The paths are correct to. Just not sure what I am doing wrong. I have never called an array of variables before.

SERVER72IN=/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/distillers/Desktop/Server/72/In/
SERVER72OUT=/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/distillers/Desktop/Server/72/In/
LOCAL72IN=/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/distillers/Desktop/Local/72/In/
LOCAL72OUT=/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/distillers/Desktop/Local/72/In/

SERVER2400IN=/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/distillers/Desktop/Server/2400/In/
SERVER2400OUT=/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/distillers/Desktop/Server/2400/In/
LOCAL2400IN=/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/distillers/Desktop/Local/2400/In/
LOCAL2400OUT=/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/distillers/Desktop/Local/2400/In/

SERVERADSENDIN=/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/distillers/Desktop/Server/Adsend/In/
SERVERADSENDOUT=/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/distillers/Desktop/Server/Adsend/In/

LOGPATH=~/Desktop/

INBOXFIND=($SERVER72IN, SERVER2400IN, SERVERADSENDIN)
INBOXMOVE=($LOCAL72IN, LOCAL2400IN, LOCALADSENDIN)

Hi there…

first of all, I think there’s a parenthesis imbalance in the script you posted - but I guess this isn’t in the script you’re using?

[ $i == “${INBOXFIND[0]}” ]) mv “$FN” “${INBOXMOVE[0]}”

The ‘)’ after ‘…FIND[0]}" ]’ looks somewhat superfluous to me :slight_smile:

Also, IIRC in bash one declares arrays w/o commas, and some of the '$'s seem to be MIA:

INBOXFIND=($SERVER72IN, SERVER2400IN, SERVERADSENDIN)

…should be…

INBOXFIND=($SERVER72IN $SERVER2400IN $SERVERADSENDIN)

Didn’t have the time to test these findings, sorry, but perhaps this helps?
