    Hi,

    Today I was trying to script using arrays in FreeBSD 5.4 but it doesn't
    work.

    Below is a sample script which I used.

    ******************************************************

    #!/bin/bash

    array=( zero one two three four);
    echo "Elements in array0: ${array[@]}"

    ******************************************************

    It works fine on RedHat server.

    Below is the output.

    # sh array.sh
    Elements in array0: zero one two three four

    Below is the out put from the FreeBSD server using the same code.

    -bash-2.05b# sh aa.sh
    aa.sh: 3: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

    Please guide me on how to use arrays on freebsd too.
