ERROR -> ./txt1[2]: x: not found

k_oops9 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-08-2004

Hi all,

When I try to run this shell script (name txt1)

script -> txt1
------------------------
#!/usr/bin/ksh
x = "hello"
echo "$x"
------------------------

error while executing
------------------------
serv1> txt1
./txt1[2]: x: not found
------------------------

Txt1 script has been created in a different folder,
/usr/folder1/folder2/.../foldern.

Anybody who knows what could be the problem.

Please help.

Thanks

Don't use spaces in variable assignments.

Use x="hello" - note that there are NO spaces in around the assignment operator.

Your script is trying to launch a program called "x" with arguments "=" and "hello".

Cheers
