Thanks! I was afraid I had to resort to eval.
By the way, I was trying to create an helper function like this:
debugvar(){
typeset -g $1
typeset +m $1
typeset $1
}
but I found out from the manual that -g "it has no effect when listing
existing parameters"
is there a way to use typeset from functions to print out the definition of
global variables?
thanks again
