Help needed in calling path file from Perl script.
Hi All,
I need help in accessing a path file (
path.xyz_pqr) not having a shell shebang and exporting paths in the following syntax,
export DB_SCRIPT_PATH="/abc/aash/scripts/db_scripts/xyz_pqr"
export SRC_FILES_DIR="/bcd/fdw/incoming/xyz_pqr"
I need to use the path contained in the DB_SCRIPT_PATH variable.
Tried using
system,
`` and
exec also referred to earlier posts like
https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...ent-shell.html
but could not get it working.
The
path.xyz_pqr file works when called using ./path/of/
path.xyz_pqr file on the command prompt but not through my perl script.
I am currently working on /usr/bin/sh shell. Please help m ein calling this path file in my Perl script and using the
DB_SCRIPT_PATH variable in my Perl script for getting the path stored in it.
Thanks

shtool-path
SHTOOL-PATH.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-PATH.TMP(1)
NAME
shtool-path - GNU shtool command dealing with shell path variables
SYNOPSIS
shtool path [-s|--suppress] [-r|--reverse] [-d|--dirname] [-b|--basename] [-m|--magic] [-p|--path path] str [str ...]
DESCRIPTION
This command deals with shell $PATH variables. It can find a program through one or more filenames given by one or more str arguments. It
prints the absolute filesystem path to the program displayed on "stdout" plus an exit code of 0 if it was really found.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-s, --suppress
Supress output. Useful to only test whether a program exists with the help of the return code.
-r, --reverse
Transform a forward path to a subdirectory into a reverse path.
-d, --dirname
Output the directory name of str.
-b, --basename
Output the base name of str.
-m, --magic
Enable advanced magic search for ""perl"" and ""cpp"".
-p, --path path
Search in path. Default is to search in $PATH.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
awk=`shtool path -p "${PATH}:." gawk nawk awk`
perl=`shtool path -m perl`
cpp=`shtool path -m cpp`
revpath=`shtool path -r path/to/subdir`
HISTORY
The GNU shtool path command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1998 for Apache. It was later taken
over into GNU shtool.
