Hi All,
I need an urgent help with a complex situation. I really appreciate your help! I have a parameter file like this.
unix> cat script.par
name=david
city=phoenix
job=(admin,manager)
admin_role=(calls,meetings,gusts)
manager_role=(meetings,workers)
age=60
I have to use the above parameters in a shell script. Since the number of parameters are high I can't pass them as $1.. $10 etc in the command prompt. Number of parameters in script.par can vary. In the shell script I need to read the values in script.par and assign them to different variables as shown below! name=david
city=phoenix
job_1=admin
job_2=manager

admin_role_1=calls
admin_role_2=meetings
admin_role_3=gusts 

manager_role_1=meetings
manager_role_2=workers
age=60
Please let me know how to achieve this. I hope I am clear on my questions. I appreciate your help. Thank you so much!
Have a great day,
Sam
