This is an extract of my script (test2.sh)
(note the high number of \)
------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
SCRIPT="./test.bat"
exec 1>"$SCRIPT"
HOMEDIR="\\\\\\host\\\\user"
write "echo $HOMEDIR"
------------------------------------
# ./test2.sh
# cat ./test.bat
echo \\host\user

#!/bin/sh
SCRIPT="./test.bat"
exec 1>"$SCRIPT"
HOMEDIR= '\\\\\\host\\\\user'
write $(echo $HOMEDIR)
Is that what you mean ???

This is what i get with your proposal (under solaris 8):
./test.sh
./test.sh: \\\\\\host\\\\user: not found
./test.sh: syntax error at line 6: `(' unexpected
I want to write something like
HOMEDIR="\\host\user"
write "echo $HOMEDIR"
and get this on test.bat :
echo \\host\user
Thanks,
Guy

#!/bin/sh
SCRIPT="./test.bat"
exec 1>"$SCRIPT"
HOMEDIR='\\\\host\\user'
write "echo $HOMEDIR"
and personal i will do it like this:
#!/bin/sh
SCRIPT="./test.bat"
exec 1>"$SCRIPT"
HOMEDIR='\\\\host\\user'
printf "echo $HOMEDIR"
please tell me if it works under solaris 8.

Yes, it works fine under solaris 8 now but my problem
isn't completely solved ...
in fact in my real script i use something like
USER="guy"
HOMEDIR="\\\\\\host\\\\$USER"
So i can't really use
HOMEDIR='\\\\host\\$USER'
Note that the write() function append a CRLF : chr(13)&chr(10)
at the end of the line (a batch for DOS ...)
Thanks

HOMEDIR='\\\\host\\'"$USER"
instead. Nothing requires you to put the entire value in a single set of
quotes.

1. changes in vi behaviour overnight, no change on my part
This morning, when I came in, vi suddenly stopped responding to the
up/down/left/right arrows and forced me to use "h","j","k","l". I am
mystified about how this happened, but would like to know a strategy for
ferretting out what is wrong and (possibly) how it happened. That is, I
need to 1) correct the problem, and 2) understand how it occurred. Can
someone give me some pointers on how to proceed? The platform is a Sun,
Solaris 2.5, and it has been quite stable for a long, long, time.
Thanks in advance.
And can you reply directly, since following this newsgroup on the IBM
mainframe is particularly difficult.
Thanks again.
