How can i delete an element in an array and then shift the array in Shell Script?

Question

First let me state my problem clearly:

Ex: Let\'s pretend this is my array, (the elements don\'t matter as in my actual code they vary):

array=(jim         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

user@pc:~$ array=(jim 0 26 chris billy 78 hello foo bar)
user@pc:~$ for itm2rm in chris 78 hello; do array=(\`echo ${array[@]} | sed "s/\<${itm2rm}\>//g"\`); done ; echo ${array[@]}
jim 0 26 billy foo bar
