Call functions from other scripts

i have a file that contains functions and i want the functions to be available in another script.

of course, the ideal situation here would be to put the functions in the same script, but i dont own these scripts. so I have to call the functions file from a different script.

how do i execute the functions file so its information becomes available to the other script?

functions.sh:
Code:
myTest () {
echo "MYPWD=$(echo $(pwd))"
echo "MYLOGNAME=${LOGNAME}"
}
myCar () {
echo "MYDATE=$(date)"
echo "MYUPTIME=$(uptime)"
}

otherscript.sh:
Code:
results=$(/var/home/functions.sh ; myTest ; myCar)
MYPWD=$(echo "${results}" | egrep MYPWD | awk -F"=" '{print $2}')
MYLOGNAME=$(echo "${results}" | egrep MYLOGNAME | awk -F"=" '{print $2}')
MYDATE=$(echo "${results}" | egrep MYDATE | awk -F"=" '{print $2}')
MYUPTIME=$(echo "${results}" | egrep MYUPTIME | awk -F"=" '{print $2}')
