Yes, using arrays makes perfect sense in the particular example I had given.
But that example was only for the sake of expressing the problem.
In the actual place I was stuck, there wasn't any arrity on numeric index.
The iterator isnt numeric there, it is an array of strings.
So I can't have them as STRING[n] where n is a number. Although I can have
them as STRING[str] where str is a string.
But this is illegal in bash I suppose.

Is there some reason you aren't using bash array variables?
