Hpux-admins:

I have two "variable strings" in a ksh script:

        OLD_MPS="/u1001 /u1101 /u1102 /u1201 . . . /uXYYY"
        NEW_MPS="/u2001 /u2101 /u2102 /u2201 . . . /uZQQQ"

I want to go through a mounted directory, and, respectively, for every
occurrence of:
        /u1001 replace it with /u2001
        /u1101 replace it with /u2101

I don't want to replace "/u1" with "/u2". I actually want to replace the
1st occurrence in the "OLD_" list with the 1st occurrence in the "NEW_"
list, the 2nd with the 2nd, the 3rd with the 3rd, etc.

My problem is not the outside loop, but the inside:

        for OMP in $OLD_MPS
        do
                echo $OMP
                # match with $NMP in $NEW_MPS

Can I turn my original variable strings into arrays? Then I could match
OLD_MPS[0] with NEW_MPS[0], etc. How would I do that?
