Hashes in shell

Might be one of the way to use “hashes” in ksh

It’s somewhat difficult to use hashes in bash[3* version], however easily possible in korn shell with below code !

#!/bin/ksh

typeset -A newmap

name="mandar"

id="111515"

newmap["name"]=$name

newmap["id"]=$id

echo "${newmap["id"]}"

Might be one of the way to use “array_push” method in ksh:

[root@cllin11 ~]# vim array_push.sh

#!/bin/ksh

typeset -A newmap

map_cnt=0

policy_list=`/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bppllist -l`

for pol in $policy_list

{

    newmap["$map_cnt"]=$pol

    map_cnt=` expr $map_cnt + 1 `

}

i=0

while [ $i -lt $map_cnt ]

do

    echo "${newmap["$i"]}"

    i=` expr $i + 1 `

done
