Making a script with arbitrary array length

Hey guys,

I'm sort of new to scripting in Linux, but so far I think I'm getting the hang of it, execpt one part.

I would like to create an array of whatever length the user provides in tcsh.

They say make an already filled array, like

Code:

---

set numbers = (one two three four five)

---

or make a blank one

Code:

---

set shapes = ("" "" "" "" "")

---

I want to turn this C line into a tcsh line.

Code:

---

int data[100];

---

Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

You're stuck with something like

Code:

---

set data=( 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... )

---

Script languages are not meant to do some of the things that perl, python, C, etc. can do.

Yeah I was sort of figuring that. Thanks for the help!

Really - if you have an array that big use perl - or python - unless this is for a class.
