problem exporting result of awk to an array...
 

cmd=$1 # first argument
str=( $2 ) # second argument
pattern=$3 # third argument

for (( i=0 ; i<${#str[*]} ; i=i+1 ))
do
echo ${str[${i}]}|awk -F $pattern '{print NF-1}'
var[${i}]=`${str[${i}]}|awk -F $pattern '{print NF-1}'
done

echo ${var[*]}



when i do :

:~/Desktop$ ./tst.sh -r 'asdasd asdasd' asd
the result is
2
2

-----------------------------------------------
the var stills empty :/...

can somebody help me :/ i am to noob :/

You have a space between the hyphen and the F argument, no closing single quote in the first awk line, and no third argument to use as the separator.

the first to mistakes it was error of copy, bc i had that right :/...

about the third, the third argument isn't the asd?
1st -r
2nd asdasd asdasd
3rd asd

thx
