linux-howto

http://www.unix.com – Hi! I am new in linux shell scripting...but had some basics in C++ so trying to merge things together now...:) Ok, my problem goes like this: I know that if we want to read values from a file and assign them to variables, we can do this: Content of myfile.txt: 12 13 14 Code: read a b c < myfile.txt echo $a echo $b echo $c Then we will get an output like this: 12 13 14 However, what if I am unsure of how many values are there in a file?How to assign each of the values into seperate variables?Like if there are 5 values, there will be 5 variables, 6 values then 6 var (HowTos)

Hello all.

I have a script that uses two arrays in the beginning. Saves certain values that i am extracting from df -h command. array1[i] and array2[i] where i is from 0 to 9.

It then goes on and saves the values of the arrays into variables.

for i 0 to 9 , tmp= array2[i] // I am no writing the exact syntax here.

I have a shell script that exports values of variables when executed. The same values will be used in another script. How to run this script(test.sh) in cron.

*/5 * * * * /home/ubuntu/backup/.test.sh

I checked with environment variables, nothing is updated.

I am new to ksh scripting, specially array.
