[ale] More on name=value

[Bert Hiddink]

Hello,

Thanks to the help of Geoffrey and Erik, I made the following 
adaptations to my script:

Geoffrey's suggestion:

#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type:text/html
echo

/usr/local/bin/analog32 +g/usr/home/coninpym/analog/analog.cfg +F-00-
00-${1#*=} +T-00-00-01

When running from the shell:
./analog_test.sh analog=15

the above yields to:
/usr/local/bin/analog32 +g/usr/home/coninpym/analog/analog.cfg +F-00-
00-15 +T-00-00-01

This is excactly what I wanted. However, if I put from the web:

http://www.mysite.net/cgi-bin/analog_test.sh?analog=15

the value is not taken into account.

Same for Erik's suggestion:

#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type:text/html
echo

eval $1

/usr/local/bin/analog32 +g/usr/home/coninpym/analog/analog.cfg +F-00-
00-$analog +T-00-00-01

When running from the shell:
./analog_test.sh analog=15

the above yields to:
/usr/local/bin/analog32 +g/usr/home/coninpym/analog/analog.cfg +F-00-
00-15 +T-00-00-01

However, this option does not work from the web neither; the output 
is not printed to the screen.

Any idea why the scripts above work from the shell and not from the 
web?
