Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting export of a variable isn't working Post 302682907 by zaxxon on Tuesday 7th of August 2012 04:02:55 AM

Code:
echo "month: [ 04 ]"

is not a variable definition. It is just echoing some text.
When you use read, then you have to give it some input.

Example:
Code:
$> read m
1234
$> echo $m
1234
$> export m
$> env| grep ^m
m=1234
$> ksh
# echo $m
1234

NAME
getunimap - dump the unicode map for the current console to stdout SYNOPSIS
getunimap [ -s ] [ -C console ] DESCRIPTION
The getunimap program is old and obsolete. It is now part of setfont (1). The getunimap program outputs the unicode map (also called a "Screen Font Map") for the current console to standard output. The -C option may be used with Linux 2.6.1 and later to get the map for a console different from the current one. Its argument is a path- name. The output of getunimap is of the form 0xAA U+1234 # comment where 0xAA is the font character code and U+1234 is a unicode character, that if displayed, will be displayed using glyph 0xAA in the font. Many unicode characters may be mapped to the same glyph. the Hash symbol # is used as a comment delimiter; characters after a hash sign (to the end of the line) are comments. The -s option will sort and merge elements, sorting on font character. Hence, it will produce output of the form: 0x22 U+1234 U+5678 U+3456 0x23 U+0023 etc., listing the multiple unicode characters that map to a font glyph. The output of getunimap is of the form accepted by setfont and psfaddtable SEE ALSO
