Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have a script

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
#reading parameters.
. FileA
Echo ......
......

File A has all parameters.

FileA:
Infile=xyz.com
outfile=abc.com
#Userid file
. FileB


FileB:
Userid:ABC
Passwd:XYZ

If i have userid and passwd in FileA script works.
But if i put userid and passwd in FileB
Script Fails complaining FileB not found (even if i give pull fileB path)
I need to keep userid and passwd in FileB and not In FileA


Appreciate your help.

could you explain in detail what you are trying to archive?

I guess (Bash here, sorry ...) you'd have to either turn FileA into a script as well to get the source command interpreted ...

Code:

#! /bin/ksh
Infile=xyz.com
outfile=abc.com
source FileB

... or - possibly cleaner / easier - source both files from the main script:

Code:

#! /bin/ksh
source FileA
source FileB
