Shell Scripting using array

Question

How I can save multiple file name with absolute path in one file with runtime path provided by the user using shell scripting? Can we do it using array?

Answer 1

Are the files presently in an array? Like so:

$export file_arr=("file1" "file2")

and in your program:

outfile=out.txt

for item in "${file_arr[@]}"; do
    echo "$item" >> "$outfile"
done

Answer 2

#!/usr/bin/ksh
> input.txt
while true
do
    echo "Do you want to continue?"
    read choice
    case "$choice" in
      n|N) break;;
      y|Y) echo "Give The Absolute Path To Be Copied"
        read char
        echo $char >> input.txt
        ;;
      *) echo 'Response not valid';;
    esac
done
