This is an issue that will really simplify a lot of my code if it is possible.
Defining Base16 in Bash is very vague and I cannot figure how bash does it for e.g. indices.
I want to declare e.g. hex numbers as an identifier for use in indices.
As an example.
How do I declare 1A as an identifier ?
What I tried so far was to first void an make A readonly with
unset A
declare -i A
readonly A
Atfter this A can be used as an index , no problem!
But now I want to similarly set 1A as an identifier and nothing works
How is a custom identifier created in bash ?
Please use 1A as example.
(*Note: I dont mean using Posix hex identifiers such as 0xFF etc. That of course works as indices, I am talking about creating a new identifier that is 00 1A 1B etc till FF. *)
