Hi All,
In Bash script language, how do I create a variable name
from a variable?
I am trying to create a variable called "abcStatus"
x=abc
$xStatus=xyz
obviously doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks,
-T

Hi Pat,
Wow. I would have never figured that out on my own.
Thank you!
Follow on question: this works, but I would like
to clean it up:
xx=ech
eval "$xx""o abc"
abc
-T
How do I echo the variable?
echo $(eval "${x}Status")
isn't working
eval echo \$${x}Status
xyz
