hey

you can modify the code to suit your needs, it is just to show u howto.

just remember to

1) export variable
2) call new bash
3) variable should have some value set, or u will not have any environmental variable.

the new bash invoked will have a environmental variable set to wat ever value u set it to.

AOA,

Dear Sameer 1 last question.
If i want to call this variable in another script do i only have to use only this code

Code: Select all

cat info.log | while read line; 

do 

echo | awk ' 

{ 

print substr ("'"$line"'",7,20) 

}' 

done 
Fname=$fname 
export Fname #makes and an environmental variable 
/bin/bash        #invoke child bash shell with Fname set 

Thanks alot for helping me out
