Java Batch to Shell Issue: What's the correct equivalent of setlocal in Shell Script...
I know this is kindof a noob question, but Im trying to convert a simple batch file to shell, but Im new to shell scripting.

What would the following be in shell script:
Code:
setlocal
set OK=N

set CUR_DIR=%~dp0
set CURRENT_TIME=%TIME:~0, 1%%TIME:~1,1%%TIME:~3,2%%TIME:~6,2%%TIME:~9,2%

I've read up on setlocal and ~dp0 conversions to shell but I'm not sure... Also, Im not sure what set OK=N actually does.
But this is what I've come up with...

Code:
export LC_ALL=C
export OK=N

export CUR_DIR=$(dirname $0)
export CURRENT_TIME=$(date "+ %H%M%S")

Not Sure if its correct at all because Im not sure what setlocal and OK=N is actually doing on a windows machine vs mac/unix.
Also, couldn't figure out how to get the milliseconds in there like the batch file...

Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks

platform::shell

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This  package  allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
       requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of  the  running  shell
       this  is  not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
       32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will  actually  run  the  installed
       packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS

       platform::shell::identify shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
	      This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
