Read variable from a shell script in config file

Question

I have a shell script in which i have defined some variables like

Shell script.sh xyz /abc/def/cde

usecase=${1}
CONFIGDIR=${2}

And I have a config file in which i want to take these variables

config file

USECASE=${usecase}
CONFIG=${CONFIGDIR}

Can you help me how to take the variable from the shell script to config file. I am thinking to use "source" command. I am not sure if that help. Can anyone point me to the right direction?

Answer 1

You can do it with given commands in shell script

usecase=${1}
CONFIGDIR=${2}
key1="USECASE="
key2="CONFIG="
echo $key1$usecase >> /path/to/your/config/file
echo $key2$CONFIGDIR >> /path/to/your/config/file

Make sure to replace "/path/to/your/config/file" with path of your config file
