Hello to all,
May somebody help me to fix my bash code below, I'd like to do it only using loops and if statements is possible.
I the content of the arrays are represented by the following 2 strings, where each character is an element inside the array.
String for case 1:
String for case 2:
The strings are separated by "U" followed by "V", this is "UV", but sometimes U or V appears alone (not in sequence UV). I want to print the elements between UV concatenated in a single string.
For String 1 the array is 1rst one and the output would be:
and I'm only getting 81, 78 and 89800.
for String 2 the array is 2nd one "commented" and the output would be:
and I'm only getting 8, 78 and 18.
The code I have so far is:
PS: The data is stored in arrays initially but I show you the way the data looks in a string for you to understand better. I'm using Cygwin.
Thanks in advance for any help.

if (( ${#buff} > 0 )); then
echo ${buff}
buff=""
fi
elif (( c == 0 )); then
buff=${buff}${a[$i]}
fi
doneThanks in advance for any help.
