Hi.

Within a bash script, I have a variable, stn_name, representing the name of a seismic station. I have a large number of these stations. Associated with each of these station names is a set of coordinates, also defined stn_name_coords

Within a for loop I'm looping over the station names and doing such and such. The basic structure is as follows:

stn="stn_name1 stn_name2 stn_name3 ....... stn_nameN"

stn_name1_coords="lat1 lon1"
stn_name2_coords="lat2 lon2"
.........................................
................etc....................
........................................


for i in $stn
do ........

prog "$(i)_coords" .... *** How is this done? ***

done


When I'm looping over the station names I need to pass each station's coordinates to a program that will calculate a value that I need, but I don't know how to call the 'stn_name_coord' variable correctly.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Wrong type of brackets!
