How to pass skill vars to shell

I am writing a skill code in which I am defining some variables

; skill var definitions
defvar(cell_name myMaster~>cell~>name)
defvar(cell_lib myMaster~>lib~>name)
defvar(cell_view "schematic")


Now, I want to pass the variable to a shell command
sh("icmp4 filelog cell_lib/cell_name/cell_view/sch.cdb")

The question is ----> How to make shell recognize the skill variable.

Is there a way to export skill vars to shell env ?
I searched the posts found some reference to sprintf But its not clear
how.
Also, is it possible to do it by writing-to & reading-from a file?


In case you guys have some idea, Pl. let me know how to do so.


Thanks & Regards

:: Found following workaround(sprintf) ::

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sh("touch ./rev.log")

sprintf(cmd "icmp4 filelog %s/%s/%s/sch.cdb >> ./rev.log"
cell_lib,cell_name,cell_view)
println(cmd)
sh(cmd)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So issue is resolved
