Hey there,

I have this issue: I have to use the contents of a file generated by the function:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
date '+%m %d %Y' |
{
read MONTH DAY YEAR
CEROD=0
DAY=`expr "$DAY" - 10`
case "$DAY" in
0)
MONTH=`expr "$MONTH" - 1`
CEROD=
CEROM=0
case "$MONTH" in
0)
MONTH=12
YEAR=`expr "$YEAR" - 1`
;;
esac
DAY=`cal $MONTH $YEAR | grep . | fmt -1 | tail -1`
esac
case "$DAY" in
-1)
MONTH=`expr "$MONTH" - 1`
CEROD=
CEROM=0
case $MONTH in
1|3|5|7|8|10|12)
DAY=30;;
2)
DAY=27;;
4|6|9|11)
DAY=29;;
esac
esac
.
.
.
.
case "$DAY" in
-6)
MONTH=`expr "$MONTH" - 1`
CEROD=
CEROM=0
case $MONTH in
1|3|5|7|8|10|12)
DAY=25;;
2)
DAY=22;;
4|6|9|11)
DAY=24;;
esac
esac
echo "$YEAR$CEROM$MONTH$CEROD$DAY" > fecha1.txt
}

And use it as a parameter of the name of a file I´m transfering with this shell script :

/dconnect/cdunix/ndm/bin/cdpmgr -i /dconnect/cdunix/ndm/cfg/AFOIXE.UNIX/initparm
.cfg
set -v
NDMAPICFG=/dconnect/cdunix/ndm/cfg/cliapi/ndmapi.cfg
FECHA=`date +%Y%m%d`
export NDMAPICFG FECHA
/dconnect/cdunix/ndm/bin/ndmcli -x << EOJ
submit env_1104_1 process snode=INSCONS.UNIX startt=(`date +%D`,06:10 am)
step1 copy from (file=/dconnect/envios/20050808_AF_560_000.1104)
ckpt = 200k
compress = extended
to (file=/export/home/rec/CONTA/RECEPCION/$A_AF_560_000.1104
disp=rpl)
pend;
.
.
.
.
.

submit env_1104_5 process snode=INSCONS.UNIX startt=(`date +%D`,06:18 am)
step1
copy from (file=/dconnect/envios/20050814_AF_560_000.1104)
ckpt = 200k
compress = extended
to (file=/export/home/rec/CONTA/RECEPCION/20050814_AF_560_000.1104
disp=rpl)
pend;
EOJ


So long I haven´t figured out how to, so anyone could please help?
Thanks a lot!

get the value stored in the fetcha1.txt file and store it to a variable

x=`cat fetcha1.txt`

in the 2nd shell script use some keyword in place of the variable then use sed to find and replace the keyword you used.

for example you use <DATE> as keywords, the script would look like:

use sed to replace <DATE> with the value you need:

execute the edited script. if you need to ensure permission into executable just use the chmod command.

Thank you very much, your advise was 100% helpfull, you really got me out of trouble.

Cheers!
