I'm new to shell script, so any information is not trivial at all.
I'm writing a generic function create_dir that take a variable $dirname and an option variable $function to generate a directory. If the optional $function is absent, the default function is mkdir. Like this:
File ~/bin/lib/create_dir.sh:
#!/bin/bash
create_dir()
{
DIRNAME=$1
FUNCTION=${2:-mkdir}
$FUNCTION $DIRNAME
}
export -f create_dir
That works fine.
Now I import this into another file ~/bin/create_app
#!/bin/bash
. "${HOME}/bin/lib/create_dir.sh"
DIRNAME=$1
FUNCTION="python manage.py startapp"
create_dir $FUNCTION $DIRNAME
When I run create_app it imported the create_dir but the variable $FUNCTION it feeds the create_dir is wrong. The variable $FUNCTION has only one word python instead of python manage.py startapp as I wanted.
Why? How to fix it?
