[PLUG] bash, double for


I want to do the following in bash.  I don't see an easy way.  (I see
very complicated ways.)  Anyone see an easy way?

    for((n=0; n<10; n++)) and $array; do 
        echo Element $n of array is $array[$n]
    done

The variable array is space separated (so not a bash array).  I want
bash to index through it like it does with command-line args and let
me refer to each term in sequence.

This seems to come up for me often.

Thanks.
