Variable substitution

Hi All,
I have the below requirement. I Checked in google and
few of the sites and groups and unable to find the solution.


Requirement is as follows.

===
A="XYZ"
B="ABC"
XYZ_ABC="Status_300"

I would like to construct the string XYZ_ABC using $A abd $B and print
the value of $XYZ_ABC

It's like

> echo $A_$B
XYZ_ABC

Using the above values of $A_$B

Print the value of $XYZ_ABC


Something like

> echo $ ( $A_$B) should print the value "Status_300"


Thanks in advance,
Rao

bash 3.2.25(16) $ A="XYZ"
bash 3.2.25(16) $ B="ABC"
bash 3.2.25(16) $ XYZ_ABC="Status_300"
bash 3.2.25(16) $ eval "echo \$${A}_${B}"
Status_300

I thought so, but since this is Usenet and not a web forum you
should always quote all necessary context.

Using eval is the standard way for this kind of "meta-indirection".
