The tutorial ... a question ... The "arrays" ... input is a fixed expression? By that I mean 'pattern match'. grep for '^green' in a file, that is exactly what you get. The result is the first 'green' starting a line in that file. The problem I face, is the rest of the line. The rest of the line has the "value" of the key-pair.

The analogy / examples : 
The key-pairs ( variable = value ) are denoted by the 'equal sign'.
Example #1
shieldgeneratortargethardpoints = "hp01" "hp02" "hp03" "hp04" "hp05" "
+hp06" "hp07" "hp08" "hp09" "hp10"
Example #2
shieldgeneratortargethardpoints = "hp01" "hp02" "hp03" "hp04" "hp05" "
+hp06" "hp07"
Example #3
shieldgeneratortargethardpoints = "hp07" "hp08" "hp09" "hp10" "hp11" "
+hp12" "hp13" "hp14" "hp15"

Notice the variance the values ( number of as well )? I am puzzled how this could ... be input without major problems. The "values" are highly random in 'length/style/number of' terms. That was fatal to bash shell script exact pattern matching.

I posted more info/lengthy examples in another response on this same ?node?thread?
