I agree using arrays would be much better, you can also loop through the |
| 32 |
arrays like. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
for ((i=0;i<${#FONT_CONF[*]};i++)); do echo "${FONT_CONF[i]}"; done |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
this way you can avoid spacing because you'll just be calling each array |
| 37 |
element in order using quotes. |
