Eval Tricky Manipulation of Arry in KSH - Help
Hi,

Could any one share the intelligence to track this problem.

I have any array BT_META_36 and it prints properly with contents of array.

# print "BT_META_36=${BT_META_36[*]}"
# BT_META_36=cab3,cab4:HDS:052,07A cab3,cab4:HDS:052,07A


Now I have a BT_META_36 assigned to a variable.
BT_VIO_META_SIZE=${BT_META_36 }

Can anyone help me out to get the Array contents using the variable BT_VIO_META_SIZE using eval.


I have tried a lot option and it fails.
some are like
print "${BT_VIO_META_SIZE}=$(eval print \$${BT_VIO_META_SIZE[*]})"
this is not working.

I like to get something like this
print "${BT_VIO_META_SIZE}=eval something....blah blah..
should get me
BT_META_36=cab3,cab4:HDS:052,07A cab3,cab4:HDS:052,07A


Pelase help..Appreciate quick help.


Thanks in advance.

LEARN ABOUT OSX

osalang

OSALANG(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						OSALANG(1)

NAME

     osalang -- information about installed OSA languages

SYNOPSIS

     osalang [-dlL]

DESCRIPTION

     osalang prints information about installed OSA languages.	With no options, it prints an unadorned list of language names to standard output.
     These names can be passed to the -l options of osacompile(1) and osascript(1).  The options are as follows:

     -d    Only print the default language.

     -l    List in long format.  For each language, osalang will print its component subtype, manufacturer, and capability flags.  There are eight
	   groups of optional routines that scripting components can support.  Each flag is either a letter, meaning the group is supported, or
	   '-', meaning it is not.  The letters map to the following groups:

		 c     compiling scripts.
		 g     getting source data.
		 x     coercing script values.
		 e     manipulating the event create and send functions.
		 r     recording scripts.
		 v     ``convenience'' APIs to execute scripts in one step.
		 d     manipulating dialects.
		 h     using scripts to handle Apple Events.

	   For descriptions of the groups and the APIs in each of them, see <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/mac/IAC/IAC-361.html>.

     -L    Same as -l, but also prints the description of each component after its name.
