Reading content of a variable to create a new one?
Hello.
I've written up a script, that populates a variable with a list of tapes returned from my library. For example:
701940L3,701941L3,701942L3,701943L3,701944L3,701945L3,701946L3,701947L3,701948L3
So now, the variable "TAPELIST" contains those numbers, delimited by commas. I'd like to now have 2 other variables. The first containing the first 5 entries (701940L3,701941L3,701942L3,701943L3,701944L3) and the second containing the next 5...
I would guess it would be something like NEWLIST=$TAPELIST with some awks or something of the sort? and OTHERLIST=$TAPELIST next 5 entries...
Thanks for the help.

dxmsvngetselections
DXmSvnGetSelections(3X) DXmSvnGetSelections(3X)
NAME
DXmSvnGetSelections - Retrieves (returns) a list of selected entry numbers.
SYNOPSIS
void DXmSvnGetSelections(
Widget widget,
int *entries(),
int *comps(),
XtPointer *tags(),
int len );
PARAMETERS
The identifier (widget ID) of the SVN widget. A pointer to an array of integers to receive the selected entry numbers. A pointer to an
array of integers to receive the component numbers on which the entry was selected. A component number of 0 means that the entry was
selected using range selection and not by directly clicking on the entry. If components are not needed, a Null pointer may be passed. A
pointer to an array of longwords to receive the application tag value for each entry selected. If tags are not needed, a Null pointer may
be passed. An integer that represents the number of entries allocated in the provided array.
DESCRIPTION
The DXmSvnGetSelections routine returns a list of entries that are currently selected by the user. Make this call in your application
between calls to DXmSvnDisableDisplay and DXmSvnEnableDisplay to ensure that the selected list is not changing.
The application is responsible for managing the memory used to return this list of highlighted entries. As such, note the following: At
the minimum, the number of entries in the array should be capable of holding the number of entries indicated by the value returned from the
DXmSvnGetNumHighlighted routine. If there are more entries in the array than the application will need, the SVN widget will set the value
for those extra entries to 0. If the capacity of the arrays passed is less than the number of selected entries, only the number of entries
allocated in the provided array (the value for len) will be returned.
