Re: passing array to command line argument.

[Dolphin06]

I did the change but i still have only the first element displaying.  I must
say that i m using ssh to call script2 on remote server so maybe it is the
problem :

script1

ssh $USER@$SERVER script2 -f ${my_array[@]} -d ${my_other_array[@]}

and on script2 it only echoes the first element of both arrays.
