Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all
i want to write a ksh file that can be able to get a path directory and execute an other bach file

my scripte semm like that

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

ENV_ID=$1
WORK_DIR=${PWD%/bin}

#definition de la variable d'environement de la derniere version ECX
SUBDIR=`ls $WORK_DIR/| grep "ecx-batch-1" | tail -1`

SCRIPT_DIR="$WORK_DIR/$SUBDIR"

#echo : that put the right path OK !!!!
echo $SCRIPT_DIR  

. `$SCRIPT_DIR`/bin/target.sh

the last line get me an error like :
myScript.ksh[14]: path_name: cannot execute
myScript.ksh[14]: /bin/target.sh: not found

thank you in advance

Hi,
Try to remove single quotes:

Code:

. $SCRIPT_DIR/bin/target.sh

and check script file really exists.

A bach file? I use mplayer.

Why grep?

Code:

SUBDIR=`ls $WORK_DIR/*ecx-batch-1* | tail -n 1`

Code:

. "$SCRIPT_DIR"/bin/target.sh

Thank you cfajohnson and AlbertGM
it's ok when i use . $PATH_NAME or . "$PATH_NAME/bin/finename.sh"

cfajohnson i use the grep to retrive the lastest directory (include version) that contain the bash file in need to execute, now we are on 11.0.1 version
i know that grep is not very good, then who i can get the last directory ( the recent) which name begfin "batch-xx"


thank you in advance
