Hi All,

I got this below,

Code:

sudo ./myvar sh-3.1
# Hello You
sh: Hello: command not found
sh-3.1#
sh-3.1#
sh-3.1# exit
Hi there
Hi there
$myvar
$myvar
Enter some text
Hello World
$myvar now equals Hello World

for this code,

Code:

/bin/sh

myvar="Hi there"

echo $myvar
echo "$myvar"
echo '$myvar'
echo \$myvar

echo Enter some text
read myvar

echo '$myvar' now equals $myvar
exit 0

Why did it jump to sh-3.1# and give the command not found error? After ctrl-d it then allowed me to enter some text for the read call and ran the code correctly. Confused. Cheers.

because the first line is incorrect, look carefully at it.

Hi All,

DOH!! Cheers.
