Bash mayhem with for loop and variable range


Wow guys I definitely found my mistake... my counter was wrongly initiated, nothing more
Thanks anyway for readers :P


Hi there,
I'm new here but did already use the forum with help of Google to find a lot of answers, so thanks already to all.

Not so good english, sorry for this :P

Here is a little bash script I'm working on cygwin, I think it will be easy for you to help me :

Code:
count=3
for param in $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 ; do 
	if [ ! -z $param ] ; then
		file[$count]=${param/$1/$2}
		let "count += 1"
		echo Array contains : ${file[*]} #debugging line
	fi
done
echo ${file[1]} #debugging lines
echo ${file[2]} #
Now the output is :

Code:
Array contains : v:\data\ascor\loel
Array contains : v:\data\ascor\loel v:\haha
Array contains : v:\data\ascor\loel v:\haha v:\loel
Array contains : v:\data\ascor\loel v:\haha v:\loel v:\jaj
Note that Input one and two are drive letters, and 3-9 are file paths, just to understand this :
Code:
file[$count]=${param/$1/$2}

As you can see on the output of the script, the two 'testing echoes' I do at the end don't print anything.
That's the point, I do NEED this array further in my script.

I'd understand my "param" var is local to the for, but is the other one too ? I tried to use "declare -a file" before the for, but i get same exact result !


Thanks guys, I hope I'll find before my brain melts of attempts...
