| Nov 19, 2014 at 22:50 | comment | added | Martin von Wittich | @Slav I'm not arguing against associative arrays, just against shell scripts where such complexity is needed. But that's just my personal preference; I often catch myself starting to write a shell script and then immediately rewriting it in Perl when I realize that I'm exceeding a certain complexity threshold. | |
| Nov 19, 2014 at 14:16 | comment | added | Slav | @MartinvonWittich why? I have a shell script that executes a SQL script on one of 3 possible DB schemas. The required schema is included in filename with an abbreviation. I need a mapping between this abbreviation and the real schema name. What better way than an associative array, considering the actual schema names (not the abbreviation) may differ between environments, so an array variable (whose values can be set just once) is perfect | |
