Function throwing an error
Hi All

I have two shell scripts where the second is getting invoked from the first. E.g.

test1.sh and test2.sh Within test1, the code is something like this:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

. test2.sh

usage() {
  echo "..."
  echo "....."
}
SRC=$1
DEST=$2

case "$3" in
  tran) doTran ;;
   *) usage && exit 1 ;;
esac

and within test2.sh, the code looks like this:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

doTran() {
  src=(
    "sample1*.gz" 
    "sample2*.gz"
  )
  target=(
   "SAMPLE1.csv"
   "SAMPLE2.csv"
  )

  trigger "tran"
}

When the main script test1.sh is executed, it's throwing the below error:

Code:
test2.sh[3]: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 4 : `(' is not expected.

Please help

gpg-zip

GPG-ZIP(1)							 GNU Privacy Guard							GPG-ZIP(1)

NAME

       gpg-zip - Encrypt or sign files into an archive

SYNOPSIS

       gpg-zip [options] filename1 [ filename2, ... ] directory1 [ directory2, ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       gpg-zip encrypts or signs files into an archive.  It is an gpg-ized tar using the same format as used by PGP's PGP Zip.

OPTIONS

       gpg-zip understands these options:

       --encrypt

       -e     Encrypt data.  This option may be combined with --symmetric (for	output that may be decrypted via a secret key or a passphrase).

       --decrypt

       -d     Decrypt data.

       --symmetric

       -c     Encrypt  with  a	symmetric  cipher  using  a  passphrase.   The	default symmetric cipher used is CAST5, but may be chosen with the
	      --cipher-algo option to gpg.

       --sign

       -s     Make a signature.  See gpg.

       --recipient user

       -r user
	      Encrypt for user id user. See gpg.

       --local-user user

       -u user
	      Use user as the key to sign with.  See gpg.

       --list-archive
	      List the contents of the specified archive.

       --output file

       -o file
	      Write output to specified file file.

       --gpg gpgcmd
	      Use the specified command gpgcmd instead of gpg.

       --gpg-args args
	      Pass the specified options to gpg.

       --tar tarcmd
	      Use the specified command tarcmd instead of tar.

       --tar-args args
	      Pass the specified options to tar.

       --version
	      Print version of the program and exit.

       --help Display a brief help page and exit.

EXAMPLES

       Encrypt the contents of directory 'mydocs' for user Bob to file 'test1':

	 gpg-zip --encrypt --output test1 --gpg-args  -r Bob mydocs

       List the contents of archive 'test1':

	 gpg-zip --list-archive test1

DIAGNOSTICS

       The program returns 0 if everything was fine, 1 otherwise.
