*EDIT -- **FIXEd I must've done something wrong, because it works now..



I punched in "if" in the forum search but nothing came up, so I'm posting it here.

Quick question: Can someone...

I have a file that contains some variables that I may want to share throughout multiple scripts.

I think there's an #include command in UNIX.

How do I use it (in korn)?

Example file list
> ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ....... ...... 1707 Feb 5 2004 file1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ....... ...... 175 Jan 21 2005 file2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ....... ...... 95 Apr 1...

Here is my code now. It works (at least for now).

#!/bin/ksh

# date.ksh

I'm almost done with my version.

I'll post it up soon so people can compare the easy way (Your way) and the hard way (My way)

:eek: Amazed.

I'm not familiar with the code you just wrote. :confused:
Can that be done with korn shell?

I posted a question on date intervals about a month back asking about how I could be able to go about a user entering the starting year/month/day and an ending year/month/day and then the script...

Sorry gersh, I edited my post after you posted.
Is there another alternative to set -A myArray value1 value2 value3 value4 ?

The way I've been using arrays currently have been:

#!/bin/ksh

set -A myArray

myArray[0]=value1
myArray[1]=value2
myArray[2]=value3
myArray[3]=value4

Is there a way I can assign values...

I have three arrays which hold three elements each.
I have a fourth array which contains the names of those three arrays.
I'm having difficulty creating a nested loop that can loop through each...

Not sure what this means.

command
echo $((010 - 1))

output
Variable syntax
But I see what you meant about same in decimal as it is in octal.

command
expr 010 - 1

output
9

#!/bin/ksh

set -A myArray

myArray[1]='one'
myArray[01]='zero_one'

echo ${myArray[1]}
echo ${myArray[01]}

output
zero_one
zero_one

wait let me post you some code ..

Ah damn, then I'm definitely running an older version of ksh/bash.
Because myArr[01] was the same as myArr[1].

I see. That's very useful hmm.

Is the value of myArr[1] the same value as myArr[01]?
or myArr[0] same as myArr[00] ?

Is it possible to say..

myArr['filename']=34
myArr['next_filename']=15

?

I have my main script calling another script to retrive a "ls -alt" of a directory that's located in a remote location I'm sftping into.

main.sh
#!/bin/ksh
getLS.sh > output.txt
getLS.sh...

:eek: Oh my goodness.

I feel so dumb I'm laughing at myself right now.
That worked so well.......

Thanks.

I've been using a lot of awk lately for csv files.
But I've been using awk for csv files that contain 32 fields per line.

For the first time, I've been given a csv file that contains one field...

I've made an awk command that works successfully.
However I'd like to add one character to it.

For example instead of /what_i_have_now/
I'd like to change just ONE field to the opposite with an...

thanks..!

I spent way too much time using AWK and haven't touched SED enough yet.

The Typeset -Z2 command you told me about works really great for the if statement I posted before, since now I don't even need the if statement. But later on in the script, I need to take the value...

That's actually in Korn Shell. I found it here on google.

It's one of the last examples way at the bottom.

Currently my script works like this:

DATE_dd=5 # Assume this is user input. (User can enter 1, 2, 3, .. 10, 11, 12)

if [ ${#DATE_dd} == 1 ]; then
DATE_D=" ${DATE_dd}"
