Hello all :))
I have a doubt with parameter expansion, because I'm getting an
error of 'bad substitution' on the following code
# Let's assume I have the following array
testing=(one two three)
export testing
export one_VALUE=DD
# The following line correctly outputs 'one_VALUE'
echo $testing[1]_VALUE
# Idem
echo ${testing[1]}_VALUE
# Bad substitution
echo ${${testing[1]}_VALUE}
The problem is that I will need even further expansion, because I
want to do 'echo ${(P)${testing[1]}_VALUE}', that is, I want the
output of one_VALUE. And, because the rest of the script, I cannot
use directly the value of one_VALUE in the array 'testing'.
What am I doing wrong? Just in case, I want to do what is
achieved under Bash with ${!${testing[0]}_VALUE}. Please note that
arrays start at 0 under Bash, not at 1.
Thanks a lot in advance
Raúl
