export Question?

[pmcmicha]

I am running the following script which is spawned from another running script and I need to access the variables in the original script, but cannot seem to do so....

Spawned Script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh -p

TZ=TZ+216
DCOUNT=1
for TIME in 216 192 168 144 120 96 72 48 24
do
TZ=TZ+${TIME}
DAY[${DCOUNT}]=`/usr/bin/date "+%A"`

if [[ "${DAY[${DCOUNT}]}" == "Sunday" ]]
then
let DCOUNT=DCOUNT
else
export "${DAY[${DCOUNT}]}"
let DCOUNT=DCOUNT+1
fi
done
#EOS

Now in the original running script, I just want to print the ${DAY[${COUNT}]} out 7 times with the correct days.

SHELL=KSH 93
UNIX Version: SCO UNIXWARE 7.1.1

Thanks in advance.

How do you call the 'spawnned' script?

. /path2/spawnedScript.sh vlad
+---------------------------+
|#include<disclaimer.h> |
+---------------------------+

Vlad,

Yes, I call it with the full path, but not with the period.

DIR=/whatever/temp

# Start FindDay.ksh script here.

${DIR}/FindDay.ksh

Then I am trying to pull the ${DAY[${DCOUNT}]} variables back over for the days I want to see.

Call it with the leading period and a space, that will run the script in the same process as the calling (the parent) script.

Any variable you change in your script will be visible in your parent script.

Alternatively..... (Because it's a bit risky doing that, you will end up overwriting some important value in your main script)

Write the values you need out to a file, and read that file into your main script. Mike
