Array like variable access possible in CLI scripts?

[Yulquen74]

Suppose you have a number of variables and a loop counter defined at the top of a script like

set item0 "something"
set item1 "something else"

env count 0

Is there a way to be able to iterate through the items in a loop by using
the numerical content of the counter?

This would allow for a much shorter script without a lot of repeated and hard coded paragraphs, and with added flexibility.

I have all the loop mechanics working, but not how to access the content of an indexed variable.

$item{$count} obviously does not work, but is something equivalent possible?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

get or getenv work with a constructed variable name.

Example:

set item1 a
set item2 b
set item3 c
set item4 d

set count 1
lab loop
	echo "item $count is `get item$count`"
	set count `eval $count + 1`
if $count not gt 4
	skip back loop
endif

That did it, thanks!
