While I realize this might not be the best forum for this, it is the ksh that is in base--and the official pdksh-5.2.14 has been abandoned since '99. That said, I'm not too familiar with shell scripting, but I'm giving it a spin and am having some issues with typeset that I'd appreciate an appropriate clue stick with.
$ cat temp typeset -L32 x="string1" y="string2" echo $x $y $ sh temp string1 string2 As far as I understand it, the output should look like the following, but this is not the case: string1 string2 What am I missing here? I am using typeset in a similar fashion in some while loops and it's working as expected, but the scenario above has me perplexed. Thanks.
