BASH multiple variables with same name in remote config file - bash

Question

What I am trying to do is having a config file that controls a very basic backup script.
#Credentials
username="backup.user"
password="****"
from="/mnt"
to="/home/backup"
#Mountpoints
n=1
source="//10.X.X.X/Public"
destination="/mnt/Public"
n=2
source="//10.X.X.X/it"
destination="/mnt/it"
Inside the script itself it looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
#getting variables from the external config file
export $(cat config.ini | grep -v ^# | xargs)
#the command I am trying to achieve
mountpoint[$n]="mount -t cifs -o username=$username,password=$password,ro $source $destination"
#mounts the array of mountpoints defined
for mountpoint in "${mountpoint[#]}";
do
${mountpoint}
done
function currentDate () {
date +%Y%m%d
}
if [ ! -d "$to/$(currentDate)" ] ; then
mkdir "$to/$(currentDate)";
cp --verbose -R "$from/." "$to/$(currentDate)" >> $to/$(currentDate)/fileLog.txt
diff -qr $from $to/$(currentDate) >> $to/$(currentDate)/differencesLog.txt
else
exit
fi
umount -a -t cifs -l /mnt/*
done
I am trying to do this:
Have a set of variables in config for each mountpoint.
A for loop for that will echo the last source and destination as normal because it doesn't know when a certain set of variables is done for "n=1".
How will you guys do that?
Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

# create an array
mountpoint=()
# append to the array
mountpoint+=("item 1")
mountpoint+=("item 2")
# iterate the array
for i in "${mountpoint[#]}"; do
echo "${i}"
done
