Can I call a function of a shell script from another shell script?

shell, unix

Solution

Refactor your `second.sh` script like this:

func1 {
   fun="$1"
   book="$2"
   printf "func=%s,book=%s\n" "$fun" "$book"
}

func2 {
   fun2="$1"
   book2="$2"
   printf "func2=%s,book2=%s\n" "$fun2" "$book2"
}

And then call these functions from script `first.sh` like this:

source ./second.sh
func1 love horror
func2 ball mystery

OUTPUT:

func=love,book=horror
func2=ball,book2=mystery

Problem

I have 2 shell scripts. The second shell script contains following functions second.sh ``` func1 func2 ``` The first.sh will call the second shell script with some parameters and will call func1 and func2 with some other parameters specific to that function. Here is the example of what I am talking about second.sh ``` val1=`echo $1` val2=`echo $2` function func1 { fun=`echo $1` book=`echo $2` } function func2 { fun2=`echo $1` book2=`echo $2` } ``` first.sh ``` second.sh cricket football func1 love horror func2 ball mystery ``` How can I achieve it?
