I have a global variable
companies="A B C D E"
i have a call to a function that is
import_data companies
in my function I have
import_data()
{
for i in $1
do
process etc etc
done
}
this makes $1 become the word companies
Whats the syntax to make $1 become $companies and therefore substitute A B C
D E.
cheers
