"Numeric" arrays coincide with hashes in awk. Indices begin at 1. The <tt>split</tt> function can be used to initialize an array from a string with elements separated by a field separator (space by default)
<lang awk>BEGIN {
<lang awk>$ awk 'BEGIN{split("this and that",a);for(i in a)print i":"a[i]}'
split("this and that",a)
1:this
for(i in a) print i":"a[i];
2:and
3:that}</lang>
Otherwise we can initialize an array by assigning to single elements:
<lang awk>capital["France"]="Paris"
capital["Italy"]="Rome"</lang>
