Hi,

Today I was trying to script using arrays in FreeBSD 5.4 but it doesn't
work.

Below is a sample script which I used.

******************************************************

#!/bin/bash

array=3D( zero one two three four);
echo "Elements in array0:  ${array[@]}"

******************************************************

It works fine on RedHat server.

Below is the output.

# sh array.sh
Elements in array0:  zero one two three four

Below is the out put from the FreeBSD server using the same code.

-bash-2.05b# sh aa.sh
aa.sh: 3: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

Please guide me on how to use arrays on freebsd too.
