Hello there, I am posting to seek help with a KSH script,
I am making a simple calculation program where the user can enter as many numbers as they like, I am getting their input using the read command, however I am not sure how to repeat doing this and storing the input in to new variables until the user wants the program to calculate.
Here is what I have so far
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Please input two numbers"
echo
echo "Please input value 1: "
read x1
echo
echo "Please input value 2: "
read x2
echo "The answer is: "
echo
echo "($x1 + $x2 | bc))"
I am thinking maybe using an Array is the best way to go about this, but I am really stumped on how to do this
Is there a command that sets a variable length?
I have a input of a variable length field but my output for that field needs to be set to 32 char.
Is there such a command?
I am on a sun box running ksh

Given a line of text in ksh:
string1 string2 string3 .....stringn
is there a way of automatically assigning each string to an array element? Or just different variables would do.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have an issue where i run an command in a shell script.
command >/dev/null
ret=$?
echo ret
If the command returns an error i'm redirecting it to /dev/null.
The prob is if an error comes it expects the user to press return to continue.
And hence the return is not echoed. and the end... (4 Replies)
