"Numeric" arrays coincide with hashes in awk. Indices begin at 1. |
"Numeric" arrays coincide with hashes in awk. Indices begin at 1. The <tt>split</tt> function can be used to initialize an array from a string with elements separated by a field separator (space by default) |
||
<lang awk>BEGIN { |
|||
<lang awk>$ awk 'BEGIN{split("this and that",a);for(i in a)print i":"a[i]}' |
|||
split("this and that",a) |
|||
1:this |
|||
for(i in a) print i":"a[i]; |
|||
2:and |
|||
}</lang> |

Otherwise we can initialize an array by assigning to single elements: |
|||
<lang awk>capital["France"]="Paris" |
|||
capital["Italy"]="Rome"</lang> |
