How to copy a ksh associative array?
Is there a way to copy an assoc开发者_运维问答iative array? I realize that regular arrays can be copied easily with a one liner as such:
set -A NEW_ARRAY $(echo ${OTHER_ARRAY[*]})
but doing so with associative arrays just gives you the values in that manner.
I know about nameref
but I'm interested in knowing if there's a way of copying the array such that the original array isn't affected.
untested:
typeset -A NEW_ARRAY
for key in "${!OTHER_ARRAY[@]}"; do
NEW_ARRAY["$key"]="${OTHER_ARRAY[$key]}"
done
tested:
#!/usr/bin/ksh93
OTHER_ARRAY=( [Key1]="Val1" [Key2]="Val2" [Key3]="Val3" )
echo Keys: ${!OTHER_ARRAY[*]}
echo Values: ${OTHER_ARRAY[*]}
typeset -A NEW_ARRAY
for key in "${!OTHER_ARRAY[@]}"; do
NEW_ARRAY["$key"]="${OTHER_ARRAY[$key]}"
done
echo Keys: ${!NEW_ARRAY[*]}
echo Values: ${NEW_ARRAY[*]}
Result:
/home/exuser>./a
Keys: Key3 Key1 Key2
Values: Val3 Val1 Val2
Keys: Key3 Key1 Key2
Values: Val3 Val1 Val2
