passing variable to my script

aladdin · #1 (**permalink**) 06-18-2007

Hello everybody:
Im trying to run the following script on my sol9 machine:

Code:

line=''

((lineCount= 0))

export lineCount

more /tmp/MSISDNs | wc -l > /tmp/tmp

cat /tmp/tmp | read lineCount

export lineCount;

while  (( lineCount > 0 )) 

do

        line= tail -$lineCount /tmp/MSISDNs | head -1 

        export line

        /opt/msp/opt/SAmsp/bin/prosubm_add -ms $line -hs off -ug postpaid -saa off  -v

        ((lineCount=lineCount-1)) 

done

#

As you can see Im passing all lines one by one to an application called "prosubm_add " which do kind of checking and filtering for value entered by "$line". However, when I test $line or echo it I can get it correct value, and when I substiute it by an integer value It works, but only when pass it as variable it gives me the follwing error:

Code:

Parameter value for parameter with name ( -ms ) is missing.

Command execution stopped with error(s)

do you have any idea why its not working when passing variables??

Thanks in advance
