Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 7 December 2007 The env array holds your environment variables:% array names env INFOPATH MANPATH HOME LOGNAME PWD TERM_PROGRAM __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING TERM SHELL SECURITYSESSIONID SHLVL OLDPWD TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION PATH _ PERL5LIB USER % puts $env(HOME) /Users/grahamellis % puts $env(PWD) /Users/grahamellis/dec07 % puts $env(SHELL) /bin/bash and indeed they are accessible by the expect script - see above. There is no need for you to specially import them, but they do need to be exported from the parent shell so that they are available to you ...
