To import a file with variables and functions into a Korn shell (ksh) script, you can use the .
(dot) command.
Here is the basic syntax for using the .
command to import a file in a ksh script:
. file
The file
argument is the name of the file to import.
For example, to import the file variables.ksh
into a ksh script, you can use the following command:
. variables.ksh
This will execute the commands in the file variables.ksh
, and any variables or functions defined in the file will be available in the script.
You can use the .
command multiple times to import multiple files into the script.
For example:
. variables.ksh . functions.ksh
This will import the variables.ksh
and functions.ksh
files into the script, and the variables and functions defined in those files will be available in the script.
