You’re making things hard on yourself by insisting on Bash, by the way. This solution is better expressed in Perl, Python, Ruby, Lua, JavaScript…probably dozens of languages.
Yeah, you're right, I am. An associative array was the first thing I
thought of, then realized BASH doesn't do those. I honestly expected
there to be a fairly straight forward way to do it in BASH, but I was
sadly mistaken. In my defense, I gave virtually no thought on the logic
of what I was trying to do until after I'd committed significant time to
a BASH script. (Well maybe that's not a defense, but an indictment.)
As I said, I don't do much scripting anymore as the majority of my time
is spent DB tuning and Ansible automation. Not really an excuse, and I
appreciate your indulgence(s) in giving me a hand. As embarrassed as I
am, I'll just go sit in the corner the rest of the day.
Thanks again.
