Error calling Functions: Command Not Found

ravi2ray · 12-01-2008, 12:45 PM

I get a 'Command Not Found' error message when i call a function. It just doesn't go to the function. Can someone help?

for example:

Function functionName(){

receive 3 parameters ($1,$2,$3) then display a message
echo "something"

}

if functionName "$1" "$2" "$3"; then
....
...
..

fi

That's helpful. How about the actual error message, the actual function code and how you're actually calling the function. From what you've provided, I would say you need to comment the line beginning with 'receive' since 'receive' isn't a command.

Thanks for the reply.
I already have it working. I had the main in the wrong place and when it was compiling it wasn' finding my functions.
