Set an index in an array to a value
$ ${array_name}[${index}]=${value}
try on your machine

This command refers to an element of an array in a shell script. Let's break it down: - ${array_name} is the name of the array variable.

  • [${index}] specifies the position or index of the element within the array we want to modify.
  • =${value} assigns a new value to the element at the specified index. For example, if we have an array named my_array and we want to assign the value "hello" to the element at index 2, the command would be: my_array[2]="hello" After executing this command, the element at index 2 of my_array will be set to "hello".
