title: How to initialize an array of arrays in awk?
body: <p>Is it possible to initialize an array like this in AWK ?</p>
  
  <pre><code>Colors[1] = ("Red", "Green", "Blue")
  Colors[2] = ("Yellow", "Cyan", "Purple")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then to have a two dimensional array where Colors[2,3]="Purple".</p>

  <p>From <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5400228/use-array-variable-in-awk">another thread</a> I understand that it's not possible ( "sadly, there is no way to set an array all at once without abusing split()" ). Anyways I want to be 100% sure and I'm sure that there are others with the same question.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for the easiest method to initialize arrays like the one above, will be nice to have it well written.</p>
