Sorry folks for assuming it was clear...at least it was to me... Smilie

This is a Linux box, ksh. Technically, i have this output as my $bkpsets variable:

Code:
 TEST_OS DVP_OS PROD_OS

As mentionned, it may contain 3 instances as in this example, but my be 5 the next time around...

From there, i want to be able to set my "Selection" variable to

Code:
 selection1=TEST_OS selection2=DVP_OS selection3=PROD_OS

That way, i can do something else later, based on that selection.

NAME
incr - Increment the value of a variable SYNOPSIS
incr varName ?increment? _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Increments the value stored in the variable whose name is varName. The value of the variable must be an integer. If increment is supplied then its value (which must be an integer) is added to the value of variable varName; otherwise 1 is added to varName. The new value is stored as a decimal string in variable varName and also returned as result. EXAMPLES
Add one to the contents of the variable x: incr x Add 42 to the contents of the variable x: incr x 42 Add the contents of the variable y to the contents of the variable x: incr x $y Add nothing at all to the variable x (often useful for checking whether an argument to a procedure is actually numeric and generating an error if it is not): incr x 0 SEE ALSO
