[SOLVED] Passing a script file with its associated args

newuser85 · 09-24-2015, 06:05 AM

Hi All,

I have a basic doubt about passing args to a script.

Is it possible to send a script file along with its associated args as a arg to a function. the snippet is as below.

callCode $DIR/bin/gens.ksh $genNbr $genSource $genDest

Please advice. Will this work.

Thanks.

you do not need to have anything like callcode, just type:
$DIR/bin/gens.ksh $genNbr $genSource $genDest
or probably I misunderstood ...

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

callcode is a method/function for which gens.ksh is being passed as an arg.

gens.ksh requires three arguments $genNbr $genSource $genDest.

Hope I made clear what is my query (Is it possible to send a script along with its own args as a argument to another function/method). Please advice.

thanks

That is what I trying to explain: you do not need to do anything, just write:
gens.ksh arg1 arg2 arg3
you do not need any function to do that.
But you can have:

Code:

function callCode {
"$@"
}

that will execute the first argument as a script or app and will pass the following ones to it

(by the way what kind of language is it?)

You can call the current script with $BASH_SOURCE and the arguments of the current script with $1 (first one) $2 (second one) etc - so maybe something like:

callCode $BASH_SOURCE $1 $2 $3
might work
