on bash (v4.3.11) terminal type this:
function FUNCtst() { declare -A astr; astr=([a]="1k" [b]="2k" ); declare -p astr; };FUNCtst;declare -p astr
(same thing below, just to be easier to read here)
function FUNCtst() {
declare -A astr;
astr=([a]="1k" [b]="2k" );
declare -p astr;
};
FUNCtst;
declare -p astr
will output this (outside of the function the array looses its value, why?)
declare -A astr='([a]="1k" [b]="2k" )'
bash: declare: astr: not found
I was expecting it output this:
declare -A astr='([a]="1k" [b]="2k" )'
declare -A astr='([a]="1k" [b]="2k" )'
how to make it work?
