Question

#! /bin/bash


dir=$(find . -type f)

echo ${dir[0]}
echo "This is dir[0]"
echo ${dir[1]}

I want to add all the files recursively in the current dir into an array arr[], but above code fails,

zhangyf@zhangyf-desktop:~/test/avatar$ ./new.sh 
./daily_burn.sh ./test.sh ./.gitignore ./new.sh 
This is dir[0]

dir is not an array in this code. What is the correct way ? Thanks !

Answer 1

dir=(`find . -type f`)

echo ${dir[0]}
echo ${dir[1]}
