Reading properties from file and setting variable values
I want to read properties from a file and print evaluated values of each key.
I am using AIX6.1.


Code:
 
 myfile.props
protocol=http
siteA.host=siteAhostname
pageA=pageNameA
siteAURL1=${protocol}:/${siteA.host}/pagea/blabla?v1=32
siteAURL2=${protocol}:/${siteA.host}/${pageA}/blabla?v1=32
test.enc=AFSAF!$fsafasf+==

Code:
 
 evalnprint.sh
#!/bin/bash
. ./myfile.props

Code:
./evalnprint.sh
./abc.props: line 2: siteA.host=siteAhostname: command not found
./abc.props: line 4: ${protocol}:/${siteA.host}/pagea/blabla?v1=32: bad substitution
./abc.props: line 5: ${protocol}:/${siteA.host}/${pageA}/blabla?v1=32: bad substitution
./abc.props: line 6: test.enc=AFSAF!+==: command not found

Expected output
Code:
http
siteAhostname
pageNameA
http://siteAhostname/pagea/blabla?v1=32
http://siteAhostname/pageNameA/blabla?v1=32
AFSAF!$fsafasf+==
