Getting value from a variable
Hi,
I am stuck up with getting value from a newvariable that I constructed from other variable...
For ex.
DIR=mydir
BKUP_mydir=bkupdir
DSTDIR="${BKUP_$DIR}"
cp -r $DIR/* $DSTDIR/*
Now I am unable to store the value of BKUP_mydir in DSTDIR variable..
Note: I have given sample one..I have many variable like that..I need to copy the files from source directory to backup directory....
The value of DSTDIR should be bkupdir...
I appreciate your help in this regards

apple_dump
APPLE_DUMP(1) Netatalk 2.2 APPLE_DUMP(1)
NAME
apple_dump - Dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file
SYNOPSIS
apple_dump [-a] FILE | DIR
apple_dump -f FILE
apple_dump -d FILE
apple_dump -h | -help | --help
apple_dump -v | -version | --version
DESCRIPTION
apple_dump dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file.
OPTIONS
-a FILE|DIR
This is default. Dump a AppleSingle/AppleDouble file for FILE or DIR automatically. Extrapolate FinderInfo type from absolute path. If
FILE is not AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If DIR, look for DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR.
-f FILE
Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be FileInfo.
-d FILE
Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be DirInfo.
-h, -help, --help
Display the help and exit
-v, -version, --version
Show version and exit
NOTE
There is no way to detect whether FinderInfo is FileInfo or DirInfo. By default, apple_dump examins whether file or directory, a parent
directory is .AppleDouble, filename is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.
If setting option -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and doesn't look for another file.
