Running SKILL command inside sh() command

insolentjester

I have a pretty simple problem. I want to pass a library/cell path I get from a current cellview to script in UNIX.

It goes something like this: (running in the CIW)

myDir = dbFullPath(geGetEditCellView())

sh("script.pl myDir")

but obviously this just passes myDir as an arg to script.pl but after searching I haven't found a way to spit this command out.

    sh(strcat("script.pl " myDir))

    Regards,

    Andrew.
