What's wrong with this?
for i in $companies; do
process ...
done
?
PS: I'm sure someone is going to try to make a buck by putting all the SLUG
bash questions in an exam that you have to sit for ...
(just kidding)

Subject: [SLUG] bash script function
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.
