[Help-bash] Unsetting members of associative arrays

[Douglas Lewan]

The following code doesn't do what I expect. The ostensibly unset array
element is still there. There's a work-around: Keep track of the indexes
to unset and do that outside the loop.

declare -A array

for i in address@hidden ; do
do
        if [[ ${array[${i}]} = bob ]]
        then
                unset array[${i}]
        fi
done

Is there a real reason for that or is it a bug?

Thanks.
