Initializing an array with a number of 0'es

[Larshg]

Hi

I want a script that initializes an array with a number of 0 (the length of the array is given as a parameter)

normaly I would do something like this

set -A zerros `echo "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"`

But I need a way to make the array the length of the parameter given to the script and make alle the places in the array 0

thanks

In ksh try something like this:

# $1 = length of array
i=0; tmp=""
while [ $i -lt $1 ]; do
  tmp="0 $tmp"
  i=$((1+i))
done
set -A zerros $tmp

Hope This Help
