Dear Friends,

I need a help regarding User defined function in shell script.

My problem is as follows:

my_func.sh

my_funcI(){
        grep 'mystring' I.dat
}
my_funcQ(){
       grep 'mystring' Q.dat
}
myfuncI
myfuncQ

my_func(FILE){
      grep 'mystring' ${FIlE}.dat
}
my_func(I)
my_func(Q)

#!/bin/sh

my_func()
{
        grep 'mystring' $1
}

my_func  I.dat
my_func  Q.dat

#!/bin/sh

my_func()
{
        grep 'mystring' $1.dat
}

my_func  I
my_func  Q

Thank you very much Mr. Porter.. Will try now shortly...

How do do with this code,

I_plt=/tmp/I_out.plt$$
Q_plt=/tmp/Q_out.plt$$
 
plot(){
  echo "#!/usr/local/bin/gnuplot -persist" > $1_plt
  echo "plot \"$1_indat.txt\" " >> $1_plt
  
 }

  plot I
  cat $I_plt 
  plot Q
  cat $Q_plt

Try "${1}_plt"

I am afraid Its giving me the same output as "$1_plt" ..
