Ksh93, bash, ... give also little nicer syntax version for the arithmetic expansion .
You can put everything inside (( )) and use variables without dollar sign $.
This is not Posix compatible, but look easier to read. Works only in the arithmetic expansion using (( )).
In this example input values has saved to the array and to the string (inputstr).
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.

shcomp
SHCOMP(1) Korn shell utilities SHCOMP(1)NAME
shcomp - compile a shell script
SYNOPSIS
shcomp [ options ] [infile [outfile]]
DESCRIPTION
Unless -D is specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh can read and execute with
the same effect as the original script.
Since aliases are processed as the script is read, alias definitions whose value requires variable expansion will not work correctly.
If -D is specified, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are output. These are the messages that need to be translated to
locale specific versions for internationalization.
If outfile is omitted, then the results will be written to standard output. If infile is also omitted, the shell script will be read from
standard input.
OPTIONS
[D dictionary] Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for internationalization. [n noexec] Displays warn-
ing messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs. [v verbose] Displays input from infile onto standard error as it reads it.
EXIT STATUS
0
Successful completion.
>0
An error occurred.
