[maemo-developers] implementation of 2-dimensional array in bash - kind request

[From: Darius Jack]

Hi,

my idea is to declare a function
array2D ( )
{  }

and have 2D array inmterpreted as one row.
so calculating 
array2D ( ) i-th j-th element 
as i + (j-1) x row length

1 2 3 4 5  1 2 3 4 5  1 2 3 4 5 
so ith (ith column) element in 3rd row
is 2 x 5 + i 

Can I call such declared function in bash if/for/while command
to update my array data ?

I need such 2D array to save gps data and more.

Darius
