No, you can only have one-dimentional arrays in bash, but there's an interesting post from comp.unix.shell by Chris F.A. Johnson on how to emulate a two-dimentional array:

May be

Code:

#!/bin/sh

i=5

j=6

for ((k=0;k<$((i*j));k++))

do

  FOO[k]=$k

done



for ((m=0;m<$i;m++))

do

  for ((n=0;n<$j;n++))

  do

    echo ${FOO[$((m*j+n))]}

  done

done
