Using bash, I'm trying to read a .properties file (name=value pairs), assigning an indirect variable reference for each line in the file.
The trick is that a property's value string may contain the name of a property that occurred earlier in the file, and I want the name of the 1st property to... (5 Replies)
The construct ${#parameter} returns the number of characters in the parameter and ${!parameter} specifies an indirect variable. My question is: How do I combine these two. What I want is ${#!parameter} but this gives an error.

I have a file with two columns of numbers (member IDs):
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 2
5 4
6 1
7 5
8 3
9 2

1 1

echo \"hello\" \n\

int main ()

cout <<system(SHELLSCRIPT1);
return 0;
}
Unfortunately for there are problems for:

GMT2BIN(1gmt) Generic Mapping Tools GMT2BIN(1gmt)NAME
gmt2bin - Create bin-index files from gmt files
SYNOPSIS
gmt2bin listfile [ -Ppath ] [ -V ]
DESCRIPTION
gmt2bin reads a file with a list of leg ids, opens each gmt file, and creates a bin-index file for each leg called <legid>.bix. These are
used by binlegs to update the system files read by gmtlegs. Normally, only the data archivist will need to be concerned with these opera-
tions.
listfile
This is a one column ASCII file with one leg id pr line.
OPTIONS -P Sets full path to directory with gmtfiles. [Default is current directory].
-V Selects verbose mode, which will send progress reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].
