now if by hand i say
doh=$testme
echo $doh
(it will then print the correct output) but useing the awk statement to fill the contents of $doh does not seem to work.
Realize you are not setting DOH to a value of another variable - you are setting it to "$" $1$2. This is two different things. Just as I stated earlier, if B is nothing setting A=$B give you nothing.
You are stating DOH to be equal to a string "$TESTIT" not a value of the variable $TESTIT. I'm not sure the work around (I've been looking...). Will get back to it tomorrow if no one else has (must go home as the EOD is here).

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to set a variable that calls another variable?
I.E.
SCRIPT=MY_SCRIPT.ksh ${VAR5}
${VAR5} is set earlier in the script, and I want to be able to call this when setting the ${SCRIPT} variable.
I hope this makes sense.

LEARN ABOUT PHP
parse_str
PARSE_STR(3) 1 PARSE_STR(3)
parse_str - Parses the string into variables
SYNOPSIS
void parse_str (string $str, [array &$arr])
DESCRIPTION
Parses $str as if it were the query string passed via a URL and sets variables in the current scope.
Note
To get the current QUERY_STRING, you may use the variable $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']. Also, you may want to read the section on vari-
ables from external sources.
Note
The magic_quotes_gpc setting affects the output of this function, as parse_str(3) uses the same mechanism that PHP uses to populate
the $_GET, $_POST, etc. variables.
PARAMETERS
o $str
- The input string.
o $arr
- If the second parameter $arr is present, variables are stored in this variable as array elements instead.
RETURN VALUES
No value is returned.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Using parse_str(3)
<?php
$str = "first=value&arr[]=foo+bar&arr[]=baz";
parse_str($str);
echo $first; // value
echo $arr[0]; // foo bar
echo $arr[1]; // baz
parse_str($str, $output);
echo $output['first']; // value
echo $output['arr'][0]; // foo bar
echo $output['arr'][1]; // baz
?>
