KSH split string into variables
Hello,
I am an intermediate scripter. I can usually find and adapt what I need by searching through previous postings, but I'm stumped. I have a string with the format "{Name1 Release1 Type1 Parent1} {Name2 Release2 Type2 Parent2}". It is being passed as an argument into a ksh script. I need to split this string into variables such as: Pkg1Name="Name1" Pkg1Release="Release1" Pkg1Type="Type1" Pkg1Parent="Parent1" Pkg2Name="Name2" Pkg2Release="Release2" Pkg2Type="Type2" Pkg2Parent="Parent2" Does anyone have any ideas how this may be accomplished, please? Thanks! D

echo "{Name1 Release1 Type1 Parent1} {Name2 Release2 Type2 Parent2}" | nawk -f drd.awk
drd.awk: Code:
BEGIN {
FS="[{}]"
nt=split("Pkg%dName Pkg%dRelease Pkg%dType Pkg%dParent", tmplA, " ")
}
{
for(i=2; i<=NF; i+=2) {
n=split($i, a, " ")
for(j=1; j<=n; j++)
printf("%s=\"%s\"\n", sprintf(tmplA[j], i/2), a[j])
}
}

Excellent! That worked.
I also had to add "export" to the printf statement and removed the quotes surrounding the variable values. So my .awk file ended up: BEGIN { FS="[{}]" nt=split("Pkg%dName Pkg%dRelease Pkg%dType Pkg%dParent", tmplA, " ") } { for(i=2; i<=NF; i+=2) { n=split($i, a, " ") for(j=1; j<=n; j++) printf("export %s=%s\n", sprintf(tmplA[j], i/2), a[j]) } Thanks so much for your prompt help!
