Hi Vino,
Thanks
Yes . I have done that in a shell script.
The below script got executed successfuly
i have the following in 1.sh
export var1=/<>/<>/<>
export var2=/<>/<>/<>
./2.sh

And i have the following in 2.sh
echo $var1

when i run 1.sh i get the echo run

But wat i wanted was
vi 1.sh
export var1=/<>/<>/<>
export var2=/<>/<>/<>

after i run the above script if i give aecho of var1 then it sholud give me the dir path

But this doesnot work.
It looks like the exporting is available to only the subscripts and once we come out of 1.sh(in the secondcase) the effect of export is lost .

Thanks in advance
