Question Displaying Return Codes
This is a high-level explanation, if more details are needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

I have a set of .ctl files which I want to execute:

AV1.ctl
AV2.ctl
AV3.ctl

I have a script which has a for loop in it:

for filename in AV1 AV2 AV3
do
. execute_another_script.sh
done

The "execute_another_script.sh" has a bunch of commands and they all exit with a return code. I then want to modify my script so that once it executes the "execute_another_script.sh" script I can get the return code from that script.

I have tried the following:

for filename in AH1 AH2 AH3
do
. execute_another_script.sh
echo $?
done

But that doesn't work, the "execute_another_script.sh" gets executed, but I do not get the return_code printed in the log file.

If I get rid of the '.' I get the return code but the variable $filename is not being read by the '.execute_another_script.sh' script.

I am not sure if I am calling the script correctly, do I need the '.'?

Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated.
