thanks vish, its as I feared then and once again I find I've wasted a day because our beloved server is set up wrong...
my output from your code is
var=”hello”: command not found
var=”myname”: command not found
var2: undefined variable
and the output from your improvement on my line is
var: undefined variable
So I've sat here another full day trying to get things to work because our sys admin has rocks in his head... very sad and frustrating indeed.
thanks a million for that snippet of code, without which I couldn't properly explain the anomoly to the tech support and sys admins - so greatly appreciated.
i think i need to go to bed now.
