Lesson learned (again)

Even if you do proffesional programming for 10+ years you can think that easy while loop in bash is something simple. But it took 2 hours for me to figure out it’s opposite.

array=()

while element
do
array+= element
done

In every case array was always empty. What? 🤨 Turnes out while loop is executed in different subshell and don’t have access to variable outside of it scope.

Solution: Switch to for loop.
