Hi, I have a question on creating array variables. I have a driver script that takes as input the number of files to be processed (say 7). One of the children scripts needs to create array variables based on how many files are being processed (in this case 7). How do I code the following action into the child script: read the number of files to be processed. based on this number create a set of arrays say @array1, @array2....@array7"? Appreciate your feedback.
