hi,

I need to save the parms in a file to be used later.
if t1 was invoked by : t1.ksh 1 2 3 4 "5 x xxx xxxx "
t2.ksh needs to read the above parms from a file and process exactly 5
parms.

thanks
Michael

Hi,

what is the correct way of saving parameters of a ksh script to a file
or passing it to another script?

for example if t1.ksh and t2.ksh both use 5 parms and t2.ksh needs to
retrive saved parms from a file.

this is what I did :

t1.ksh:

cat > tmpfile.log <<eot
"$1""$2""$3""$4""$5"
eot

and t2.ksh:
cat tmpfile.log | read x

set - $x
echo total $#

thanks
Michael
