Bash script : pass arguments to second level parser

[drugo]

Hi all,

I wrote a C++ program that uses two different parsers. The first parser is reading program arguments from command line:

./mybin arg1 arg2 ...

then during program execution there's an interactive prompt asking for more parameters:

...
>> (second bunch of arguments here)
...

I'd like to run my program inside a bash script, but I don't know how to give the second level arguments. Any help on how to do that?

thanks in advance.

I would go following way:

#!/bin/bash

MYARGS_1="vienas du trys"
MYARGS_2="uno dos tres"

echo $MYARGS_2 | ./main.exe $MYARGS_1

Would you need an argument containing spaces, it should be enhanced a bit.

thanks saulius2, I managed to pass the args using bash "here documents". something like

#!/bin/bash

ARGS_L1="par1 par2"
ARGS_L2="par3"

./mybin $ARGS_L1 << EOF
$ARGS_L2
EOF

exit 0

both solutions work.
