If you run it like this $(psql -v passed_in_var=\'some_value\' -f script_name) and arrange for all the script output to be in the form var1="value 1" var2="value 2" var3="value 3" ... then var1, var2, etc will be set in bash (or ksh, or the posix shell). Note that there are no spaces around the equals signs. -- Patrick TJ McPhee North York Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
