Problems with 'for' in bash
I am trying to run this small script but I got some errors
Code:
#!/bin/sh

set event_list = "17 20 21"

for event in `($event_list)`
echo Evento $event - Tarro
end

Thank you so much!!!

This might work
Code:
for event in $(echo $event_list)

if you use for loop then you need to stick to its syntax:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

export event_list="17 20 21"

for event in $event_list
do
   echo Evento $event - Tarro
done
