    bash variable inside variable

    x=1
    c1=string1
    c2=string2
    c3=string3

    echo c$x
    c1

    I'd like to have the output be string1 by entering something like:
    echo $(c$x)

    can someone point me in the right direction.

    Use eval, something like:

    Code:
    x=1
c1=string1

eval "var=\$c${x}"

echo $var
