You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Per other bug, 'sh; syntax highlighting is actually for bash, as
functions etc are not in Bourne shell (or Bash 3 when run in default
POSIX mode).
Anyway, for bash - not Bourne shell - gedit's syntax highlighting cannot
properly cope with arrays (which have been in bash for quite some time).
The following simple array test, when pasted into gedit, breaks syntax
highlighting, showing the rest of the file after looping through the
array in grey.
#!/bin/bash
## Declare array with 4 elements
ARRAY=( 'Debian Linux' 'Red Hat Linux' 'Ubuntu Linux' )
## get number of elements in the array
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
## Loop through array, echoing each element
## syntax highligting breaks on next line
for (( CURRENTELEMENT=0;CURRENTELEMENT<$ELEMENTS;CURRENTELEMENT++)); do
echo ${ARRAY[${CURRENTELEMENT}]}
done
