This isn't exactly a debian-specific question, but I'm not sure where else to turn.
I'm writing a bash script wherein I have a list of variables of which I want to return the values. A script representative of what I am trying to do would be like this:
#!/bin/bash
FOO=bar BLAH=blarg
for var in FOO BLAH ; do echo $var = $"$var" #this part is messed up done #end
The script above returns:
FOO = FOO BLAH = BLAH
...but what I want it to return is
FOO = bar BLAH = blarg
so obviously I need to change the $"$var" to something else, but I'm at a loss as to what. I've tried various combinations of quotes, dollar signs, curly braces, backticks, and pounding myself on the head, but to no avail. :)
Now, I know I could just take everything out of the for loop, and echo each variable individually, but in the real script I'm writing, the list of variables is rather long and I'd rather keep it wrapped up.
Can anyone give me a hand with this, or am I just crazy? ;-)
Thanks, Corey
