Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have an array of data as below:
df[1] = trx
df[2] = xml

I would like to create a function which contains array inside it and the value is determined when the function is called as below:


function pass_or_fail
{
if [ -s fail/${df[$i]} ]
then
echo " ${df[$i]} FAILED. Please check logs"

elif [ -s pass/${df[$i]} ]
then
echo " ${df[$i]} PASSED."
fi
}

echo "\n Data Loading Summary"
echo " --------------------"
echo "\n trx data loading :"
pass_or_fail 1 ## function calling for $i value = 1
echo "\n xml data loading :"
pass_or_fail 2 ## function calling for $i value = 2


Can anybody check what I am missing here because this looks not working for me

Thanks!

df[$1] instead of df[$i]?

Try:
function pass_or_fail
{
eval local=\${${df}[\$i]}
if [ -s fail/${local} ]
then
echo " ${local} FAILED. Please check logs"

elif [ -s pass/${local} ]
then
echo " ${local} PASSED."
fi
}

Hi Perderabo,

Thanks for your input, I used that in my script but I got this error message after that

Data Loading Summary
--------------------

trx data loading :
./load.sh[2]: local=${[$i]}: bad substitution

I misunderstood your requirements. I now agree that you need to use $1 instead of $i or do:
i=$1

Hi Perderabo..

I need to call the function outside it with these code:

pass_or_fail 1 ## function calling for $i value = 1, so i can get df[1]=trx value

pass_or_fail 2 ## function calling for $i value = 2, so i can get df[2]=xml value
