ERROR subscript out of range

Victor Akamine — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:36:30 GMT

Hi,

I've created a script to aggregate a lot of files in only one.

But, i have a lot of archives and this error occur in process: subscript out of range.

The output file was created apparently without errors.

But i want to know if this problem can cause future problems.

Regards,
Akamine

My psychic powers are too weak to let me
diagnose a problem in an invisible (shell?)
script, let alone predict what its
consequences might be in some unspecified
environment.

So, either you don't have a problem, or else
you can't tell if you have a problem. How
important are these data?

I want to know how this problem 'subscript out of range' may affects my script.

I want to know what is this problem, the script not is my property, because this i can't available in this forum.

Thanks

Normally it means that you have some array
with a finite size, and you have tried to
access some storage outside its extent.

That (still) depends on the (invisible)
script, and my psychic powers are still too
weak to show me that without your help.

I guess that you're stuck, then.

Who wrote this script? Ask him?

This happens if you have a subscript > 1023.
What command is producing that error message?

At the very least, your script isn't going to do all that it was intended to do.

And then it isn't possible to be more specific in answering your first question, above.

This is a question of don't-ask-if-you-can't-tell.
