I want to scatter strings into variables, what's wrong?

Question

bash

I read the file and put each line into a variable.

#!/bin/bash
myl=0
while read line
do
let myl=$myl+1
accum$myl="$line"
done < source.txt

It looks like it is, but it gives me an error:

parce.sh: line 7: accum1=2014-08-03 12:00:00  root             0       0.0     0.0     1       400     1000    1000: command not found
parce.sh: line 7: accum2=2014-08-03 06:00:00  root             0       0.0     0.0     1       400     1000    1000: command not found

those. we got numbered variables accum1,2,3 etc. and lines from the file .... It seems like everything I wanted. But that's why "command not found"? Where did I screw up?

Answer 1

Use arrays

#!/bin/bash
myl=0
while read line
do
let myl=$myl+1
accum[$myl]=$line
echo ${accum[myl]}
done < source.txt
