using a variable from java program in unix

inquisitive101 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-14-2009

Hi,

I need to execute a java program in a shell script.I then need to assign the value being returned by the program into a unix variable.Is there any way i can access the value in a variable in java program?
As in if my java code has a variable,
.
.
.
.
valueA =x.getValue()
.....

can i execute the code and then do something like unixVar = $valueA?

Thanks in advance

No, not unless the program somehow returns that variable to the shell. Possibilities for that would be

Return code
STDOUT/STDERR output
Environment variable set inside the program
