Reading properties from file and setting variable values
I want to read properties from a file and print evaluated values of each key.
I am using AIX6.1.


Code:
 
 myfile.props
protocol=http
siteA.host=siteAhostname
pageA=pageNameA
siteAURL1=${protocol}:/${siteA.host}/pagea/blabla?v1=32
siteAURL2=${protocol}:/${siteA.host}/${pageA}/blabla?v1=32
test.enc=AFSAF!$fsafasf+==

Code:
 
 evalnprint.sh
#!/bin/bash
. ./myfile.props

Code:
./evalnprint.sh
./abc.props: line 2: siteA.host=siteAhostname: command not found
./abc.props: line 4: ${protocol}:/${siteA.host}/pagea/blabla?v1=32: bad substitution
./abc.props: line 5: ${protocol}:/${siteA.host}/${pageA}/blabla?v1=32: bad substitution
./abc.props: line 6: test.enc=AFSAF!+==: command not found

Expected output
Code:
http
siteAhostname
pageNameA
http://siteAhostname/pagea/blabla?v1=32
http://siteAhostname/pageNameA/blabla?v1=32
AFSAF!$fsafasf+==

props(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     props(1)

NAME

       props - Change OpenWindows settings

SYNOPSIS

       props [ generic-tool-arguments ]

DESCRIPTION

       props  can  be used to change certain settings for OpenWindows/XView programs using a GUI. As most of these settings are stored in OpenWin-
       dows-specific X resources, they won't have an influence on non-OpenWindows programs.

       These are the settings that can be modified using props (their meaning is explained in xview (7)):

       OpenWindows.Beep

       OpenWindows.DragRightDistance

       OpenWindows.IconLocation

       OpenWindows.MultiClickTimeout

       OpenWindows.PopupJumpCursor

       OpenWindows.ScrollbarPlacement

       OpenWindows.SelectDisplaysMenu

       OpenWindows.SetInput

       OpenWindows.WindowColor

       OpenWindows.WorkspaceColor

       Scrollbar.JumpCursor

       *displayLang:   C

       *timeFormat:    C

       *basicLocale:   C

       *inputLang:     C

       *numeric:       C

OPTIONS

       generic-tool-arguments
              props accepts the XView generic tool arguments described in xview (7).

FILES

       ~/.Xdefaults
              Stores user's resource values. Modified by props when new settings are applied.

AUTHOR

       This manual page was written by Martin Buck <mbuck@debian.org> for Debian GNU/Linux.

SEE ALSO

       xview(7)

BUGS

       props saves all resources currently defined in the X server to ~/.Xdefaults, overwriting its current contents. This  will  remove  comments
       and conditionals, reorder resources and also save resources which were originally loaded into the server by other means.

       The color selector is available only on display classes GrayScale, PseudoColor and DirectColor.

XView                                                              Version 3.2p1                                                          props(1)
