multidimensional array

[watergrinder]

Hello

I want to read a multidimensional array like this

/home input
testh1 test2
testh3 test4
testh5 test6
testh7 test8

The # lines and fields are not constant. Next step is to idenify each row and column. Can somebody help?


I was using this

	cat $DIR/files.dat | awk '{
          if (max_nf < NF)
               max_nf = NF
          max_nr = NR
          for (x = 1; x <= NF; x++)
               vector[x, NR] = $x
     }
