I am going to ask this here. Part belongs in this users group and part
in another.
I have a html file that consists of several hundred lines such as the
group below.
To store the data on the server, am I correct to say an array is created
and for
this example the array has a name of 'describe[]'?

<div style="text-align: center;"><h2>Personal Data</h2></div>
<p>Your Name:&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=text name=describe[] size="40%"
maxlength=256>
Tel:&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=text name=describe[] size="30%" maxlength=16>
Date of Report:&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=text name=describe[] size="10%"
maxlength=16></p>
<p>Your Address:&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=text name=describe[] size="60%"
maxlength=1024>
E-Mail:&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=text name=describe[] size="30%"
maxlength=1024></p>
</body>

I need to fill the [] with a number. I had wanted to write a shell script
to do that. I have googled for 2 days and have yet to discover how
to increment a numerical variable in 'sed'.

Can someone help me or more importantly, tell me where the tutorial is
that will
answer these question.

TIA
Dave
