Full Discussion: Re-assign variable's value through which FOR LOOP loops
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Re-assign variable's value through which FOR LOOP loops Post 302488480 by ctsgnb on Monday 17th of January 2011 10:47:54 AM

$var is supposed to hold a list of values that you will scan with the for loop.

If you want to scan more than 1 list (so if you want $var to hold differents lists of values) you should make it vary into another loop or put your for loop into a function that you will call passing the $var as a parameter.

The code below has not been tested & may be meaning less but it is just an example for demontration purpose of how could the general structure look like if you have few or more list to be assigned to $var :

Code:
my_loop(){
tempFile=/whatever/name
for i in $1
do
     echo $i>>$tempFile
done
}

LIST1="a b c d e f g"
LIST2="h i j k l m  n o"

var=${LIST1}
my_loop "$var"

var=${LIST2}
my_loop "$var"

or
Code:
find ./ -type d | while read a
do
     var=$(ls $a)

     for i in $var
     do
          echo $i >> $tempFile
     done

done

modload

MODLOAD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						MODLOAD(8)

NAME

     modload -- load a kernel module

SYNOPSIS

     modload [-fP] [-b var=boolean] [-i var=integer] [-s var=string] module
     modload -p [-b var=boolean] [-d var] [-i var=integer] [-m plist] [-s var=string]

DESCRIPTION

     The modload utility loads a kernel module specified by the module parameter into the running system.

     Modules are loaded from the default system module areas unless the module parameter contains a path separator character ('/').

     The options to modload are as follows:

     -b var=boolean   Pass the module a boolean property with the name var.  boolean may be either true or false.

     -d var	      When used in conjuction with -m, delete var from the plist specified.

     -f 	      When a module is loaded, the kernel checks if the module is compatible with the running kernel and will refuse to load mod-
		      ules that are potentially incompatible.  This option disables compatibility checks.  Note: an incompatible module can cause
		      system instability, including data loss or corruption.

		      This option is also required for re-enabling a builtin module that was disabled using modunload(8).

     -i var=integer   Pass the module an integer property with the name var and integral value integer.

     -m plist	      When used in conjuction with -p, merge new options with an existing property list contained in plist.

     -P 	      This option tells the kernel not to load an associated property list.

     -p 	      Output a property list suitable for loading along with a module.	When using this option, you do not need to specify a mod-
		      ule.  Use -m and -d to read and modify an existing property list.

     -s var=string    Pass the module a string property with the name var and string value string.

DIAGNOSTICS

     The modload utility exits with a status of 0 on success and with a nonzero status if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     module(7), modstat(8), modunload(8)

HISTORY

     The modload command was designed to be similar in functionality to the corresponding command in SunOS 4.1.3.
