#  The string operations are performed on

#  Therefore : Bash supports string vector operations.
#  If the result is a zero length string,
#+ that element disappears in the resulting assignment.
#  However, if the expansion is in quotes, the null elements remain.

#  Michael Zick:    Question, are those strings hard or soft quotes?
#  Nathan Coulter:  There is no such thing as "soft quotes."
#!    What's really happening is that
#!+   the pattern matching happens after
#!+   all the other expansions of [word]
#!+   in cases like ${parameter#word}.

# Well, maybe we _are_ still in Kansas . . .
# (Revisions to above code block by Nathan Coulter.)


#  Compare array7 with array10.
#  Compare array8 with array9.

#  Reiterating: No such thing as soft quotes!
#  Nathan Coulter explains:
#  Pattern matching of 'word' in ${parameter#word} is done after
#+ parameter expansion and *before* quote removal.
#  In the normal case, pattern matching is done *after* quote removal.

# Output format of the 'times' command:

#  Bash has two versions of assigning all elements of an array

#  An additional array assignment that maintains the relationship of

#  Comparing the numbers shows that the second form, pointed out
#+ by Stephane Chazelas, is faster.
#
#  As William Park explains:
#+ The bigTwo array assigned element by element (because of parentheses),
#+ whereas bigThree assigned as a single string.
#  So, in essence, you have:
#                   bigTwo=( [0]="..." [1]="..." [2]="..." ... )
#                   bigThree=( [0]="... ... ..." )
#
#  Verify this by:  echo ${bigTwo[0]}
#                   echo ${bigThree[0]}


#  I will continue to use the first form in my example descriptions
#+ because I think it is a better illustration of what is happening.

#  The reusable portions of my examples will actual contain
#+ the second form where appropriate because of the speedup.

# MSZ: Sorry about that earlier oversight folks.


#  Note:
#  ----
#  The "declare -a" statements in lines 32 and 44
