Jan 9, 2010I would like to get the filename (without extension) and the extension separately. The best solution I found so far is:
Let FILE="thefilenameofsomefilesfor_instance.txt"
Code:
NAME=`echo "$FILE" | cut -d'.' -f1`
EXTENSION=`echo "$FILE" | cut -d'.' -f2`
I think it would be better to count the len and remove 3 chars to right to get the extension, but it can be macintosh filenames with have 4 chars for extensions.

Programming :: Bash Script And Filename Spaces ?
Jan 15, 2010I have over 50 files names with spaces in them.
I'm trying to use a for loop as such:
However, when I print the $filename in the script, the script prints out parts of the filename because of the spaces in the file name.
For example, say the file name was Star Quest.php
When the script executes one $filename would be Star and another Quest.php.
How could I account for this? Something like $'filename'

Slackware :: Writing Basic Bash Script To Toggle Two I8kctl Commands (fan Speed Hi/low)?
Jun 11, 2011I'm on a Dell Inspiron 6000. I installed i8kutils and it works. Fan speed reduces CPU temp from 50C to 44C. A start-up script invokes the i8k module: $ udo /usr/sbin/modprobe i8k force=1 which creates /proc/i8k. The man page for i8kctl is straightforward: a few simple commands to read info from the aforementioned file.So. I know nothing about writing even basic bash scripts. I gave it a go here but I know this is way wrong. Would anyone like to help a guy out? This is my starting point (don't laugh):

The feed changes almost every day.

Here is the URL:

I am aware that there are characters that need escaping and this is where I am getting my errors. I have never written a shell-script but I am also assuming some of the characters are keywords in the Shell Scripting language or Linux I am also aware that I can avoid having to escape by enclosing the URL with single or double quotes. You will notice that the URL has BOTH single and double quotes, so its not as simple.
