I have not done my homework on this as much as I should. A coworker needs to set variable names and values input from another file. Normally, I would source that file, but he specifically wants to parse the file. So, in simple terms, he has a file that has something like: var1=foo
Instead of sourcing he wants to parse the file using readline so he reads the variable name, then he wants to assign a variable of the same name. So, in his code he has something like readline ... - code to parse the line Where varname contains the variable name(eg var1), and value contains the value(eg foo) -- Jerry Feldman <[email protected]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id:3BC1EB90 PGP Key fingerprint: 49E2 C52A FC5A A31F 8D66 C0AF 7CEA 30FC 3BC1 EB90
