Hello,
I am an intermediate scripter. I can usually find and adapt what I need by searching through previous postings, but I'm stumped.
I have a string with the format "{Name1 Release1 Type1 Parent1} {Name2 Release2 Type2 Parent2}". It is being passed as an argument into a ksh script. I need to split this string into variables such as:
Pkg1Name="Name1"
Pkg1Release="Release1"
Pkg1Type="Type1"
Pkg1Parent="Parent1"
Pkg2Name="Name2"
Pkg2Release="Release2"
Pkg2Type="Type2"
Pkg2Parent="Parent2"
Does anyone have any ideas how this may be accomplished, please?
Thanks!
