Hi guys, kind of a newbie question, so I apologize in advance.
First I tried to export an array from one script to it's child, and I
figured it's not supported in bash (would be happy if someone can correct
me). So I pass the array cells one by one. It works for all commands except
for those with redirection signs (| > etc.), see example and error below.
Your help is appreciated!!
main.sh:
CMDS=("ls -l > /tmp/log")
~/child.sh "${CMDS[0]}"
child.sh:
for i in "$@"
do
if [ "$i" ]; then
echo "$i"
$i
fi
done
./main.sh
ls -l > /tmp/log
ls: >: No such file or directory
ls: /tmp/log: No such file or directory
