Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

Have assigned values in Array and iterating in while loop and would require values outside of the loop. But its returning NULL.

could you please help us how to define Global array declaration in Unix shell scripting?

i am using Kron shell.

Thanks in advance.

You say that this doesnt work?

Code:

ARGS=($@)
export ARGS[@]

EDIT:
Once you left the loop, the Array *should* be accessible from within the same script, or others if they were sourced.
Even without the export!!

If this doesnt help, please provide code.

I assume you mean that you're using the Korn shell.

If your array assignments are happening in a subshell environment, the values assigned will not be seen in the original shell environment. (If this is the case sea's suggestion won't help.)

Without seeing your code, we can only waste time guessing at what might be wrong. Please show us your code, explain what you want that code to do, show us the output you want, and show us the output you are getting (including all diagnostic messages). Please also tell us what type of system you're using. (The utilities available and the options available for those utilities varies from system to system.)
