Hello Bob,
Hello @Lists,
countobjects()
{
myline=0
cat $objectcountfile|grep -v "^[^0-9]*$"|grep -v "^0$"|
awk '{myline += $1} END {print myline}' > $objectsum
}
this gave me the right behavior.
THX
i ve forgotten that the piping opens another subshell,
so it is clearly logical that the 2
but this doesnt function right. so i see the behavior from
$myline in the while-loop like an local variable..
If you are looking for function local variables,
use the "local" keyword. For example:
a.sh
a=1
f()
{
local a
a=2
echo B: In f: $a
}
echo A: Outside
Hello,
i have a little problem with the
scope of sheel variables in an script.
the script shows like:
#!/bin/sh
objectcountfile=/data2/scout/objects
objectsum=/data2/scout/objcount
sometime=5
initialize()
{
[ ! -e $objectsum ] && touch $objectsum
}
#
countobjects()
{
myline=0
cat $objectcount
