need a source command eqlnt

[Girish Kanakagiri]

Hi,

In csh (C-Shell) we have source command

source <file name>

I need equivalent command for this "source" in ksh.

Why I need:
As I am running a script under ksh (K-Shell).
I entered two below commands

csh
source .myfl
<special command>

script did not execute further, after executing csh.
It got halted with "%" prompt. Later i typed "exit".
It came back to ksh & tried to execute "source" but gave message source command not found.

All the three commands I tried to execute from command prompt instead of script, it got executed & gave exact result as expected.
Please help me. This is little urgent.

Thanks & Regards,
Girish Kanakagiri

Check out the korn shell man page and you will find that there are two ways to source a file in Korn shell. Either with the 'source' command or with a dot(.). For example:

. ./.kshrc

This will source the .kshrc file in the current directory.

Regards,

Jeff
