Subject: returning a pathname from a function
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 14:56:31 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000501bf9a8a$6cd33a90$3e525f83@otr.usm.edu> (raw)
Zsh hackers,
I am attempting to return a path name from the following function.
prep_directories()
{
output_directory="/var/adm/backup/${1}_${2}"
backup_log="${output_directory}/backup.log"
backup_lis="${output_directory}/backup.lis"
return $backup_log,$backup_lis
}
prep_directories 20000330 WEEKLY
Executing this script results in the following error.
prep_directories: bad math expression: unbalanced stack [75]
I assume it has something to do with the slashes (/) found in the string
that it is attempting to return.
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Allen Belk
