Hi all !
The following two lines of code work on the command line but not if executed
from a shell script.
vzell:/usr/bin> myls=`ls -lt`
vzell:/usr/bin> echo $myls
total 156
-rw-r--r-- 1 vzell admin 177 Nov 15 19:13 t
-rw-r--r-- 1 vzell admin 1763 Nov 15 19:08 whatis
-rw-r--r-- 1 vzell admin 1695 Nov 15 19:06 apropos
-rwxr--r-- 1 vzell admin 38923 Oct 11 18:19 txt2html*
#!/bin/sh
myls=`ls -lt`
echo $myls
In this case I get an empty line.
Any hints ?
Ciao
Volker
