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
