General :: Generating Two Bash Arguments From 'ls'?

Jul 3, 2011

I have a directory containing the following files.

Code:

1-res-opt-I189N-0001.pdb
1-res-opt-I189N-0002.pdb
1-res-opt-I189N-0003.pdb
1-res-opt-I189N-0004.pdb

[code].....

What I want is something like:

Code:

for i in *.pdb
do
python my_script.py 1-res-opt-I189N-00{1..10}.pdb 3-res-opt-I189N-00{1..10}.pdb
done

such that always the two files with corresponding index are submitted together to the Python script. How do I do that?

General :: BASH Scripts Check For Arguments

Mar 5, 2010

I know that $1 ... $n will set the argument to the values but what happened if I have many options in one scripts lets suppose.

I can run:
myscript -1stargument -2ndargument -3rdargument
or myscript -1stargument
or myscript -1stargument -3rdargument

In my scripts I have
if [ $1 = "-1stargument" -o $2 = "-2ndargument"] #for every instruction I need
fi

but is there any way to do:
if [ (any arguments or commands) = "(mydesired option ] ; then
(do this...)
fi

General :: Passing Commands As Arguments To Functions In Bash Script?

May 31, 2010

I wrote a simple bash script to let me treat any set of programs like a deamon. For example if I configure the script a certain way I can start/stop/get the status of apache, mysql and php all from one command. I am having a bit of a problem though. I am passing commands as strings to a function and then depending on the arguments to the script it might run one of these commands or another. Some of these commands need to beun in the background though, such as deluge-web. When I send "deluge-web &" to the function and it execute it deluge-web does not start in the background. I can't figure out why this is. I have tried escaping the & with ''s and with a , but nothing seems to work. I know that this is some idiotic thing that I am overlooking, but I am a bit stumped. Here is the script configured to start/stop/get status of deluged and deluge-web.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
function checkanddosomething {

General :: Bash : Pass Command Line Arguments Containing Special Characters?

Jul 14, 2010

I've written myself a linux program "program" that does something with a regular expression. I want to call the program in the bash shell and pass that regular expression as a command line argument to the program(there are also other command line arguments). A typical regular expression looks like "[abc]_[x|y]".Unfortunately the characters [, ], and | are special characters in bash. Thus, calling "program [abc]_[x|y] anotheragument" doesn't work. Is there a way to pass the expression by using some sort of escape characters or quotation marks etc.?

(Calling program "[abc]_[x|y] anotheragument" isn't working either, because it interprets the two arguments as one.)

Programming :: Bash: Generating A Random LETTERS Sequence?

May 12, 2011

I tried googling around but i cant find anything related to this: everyone seems just interested in random numbers, so when it comes to random letters there is a lack of informations. However, i am trying to figure out a wait to get a random letters string that matches a simple rule: it must be a sequence of consonant+vowel. So for example, these are some 6 letters strings i would like to obtain: wolupa, tafoke, zewevu, cupimo.

Fedora :: Bash Function With Arguments

Programming :: Bash Reading Arguments, Most Effective Way?

Aug 17, 2010

I've been reading about getopt and getopts but it doesn't seem like it's possible to parse arguments like --foo or even -foo. I've started my own script trying to achieve this, but I'm still wondering if I'm losing performance and if there is a better way to do this task.

Also I'm using the [[ =~ ]] regex syntax which seems to be available only in newer bash versions, should it be a big issue? My bash version: GNU bash, version 4.1.7(2)-release (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)

Ubuntu :: Incrontab Not Passing Arguments To Bash Script

Feb 28, 2010

It seems incrontab wont see spaces properly at all. I setup a script to echo the arguments passed to it by incrontab to a file, and no matter what I put around the arguments on the incrontab file it will count a space as the next argument.

I have written a script to automatically retrieve imdb artwork for a given filename. Here is the script:

Code:

You can ignore all the commented "echo" commands that was just me testing. Anyway, the script work fine, however I am trying to use incrontab to monitor a folder, when a new (video) file is moved into the folder, it should execute the script and retrieve the artwork. My problem is, when incrontab passes the $# argument to my script, the script wont work because the spaces aren't escaped.

Here is some more detail:

Incrontab

Code:

Code:

The problem is, the script GetArtwork, doesn't see "Bangcock Dangerous" it just sees "Bangcock"

I have tried putting quotes around the $# in the incrontab - this just makes the script see "Bangcock (notice the single quote character)

Programming :: Bash Script : Pass Arguments To Second Level Parser?

Jan 14, 2011

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:

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

Ubuntu :: Parsing Textfiles And Passing Arguments In Bash To Preserve Tracker-tag Metadata

Sep 3, 2010

I'm at the bottom of the bash learning curve, looking up, hoping someone can toss me a line. I need to update tracker on my system but this will erase the metatag database I've been building up over the course of months for the purpose of indexing a news archive. So the solution seems to be, 1) save the output of tracker-tag to a text file for all relevant files within a directory, 2) upgrade tracker (since the version in the Ubuntu repositories is very much out of date) and then 3) use a script to parse the text file and pass appropriate arguments back to tracker-tag to rebuild the database. It sounds as though it ought to be simple enough, but I need a push in the right direction, which hopefully will not be off the cliff. Before I confuse my metaphors any further, here's what the text file looks like.

General :: Generating SSH Key At The Console - What File Needs To Be Copied To Usb Drive

Feb 17, 2011

I've been giving the task to go to a Linux console as root. and generate a ssh rsa 4096bit key, and copy the private key to a USB drive.

1) What command should I use here? ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 ?

2) Do I need to append the new private key to the authorized_users file? Which file exactly must be appended there? Would this be sufficient?

mkdir -p /home/myuser/.ssh
cat id_rsa_LOCAL.pub >> /home/myuser/.ssh/authorized_keys

Should any special permissions be applied to this file?

3) Which file must be sent to my usb drive so that I can take it home to connect with?

General :: Pass All Arguments To A Function?

Jul 6, 2010

I've got a sticky little problem with a bash script. Please consider the following code:

Code:
#! /bin/bash
processArgs() {
echo "Count = $#"
while [[ $# -ne 0 ]]; do
echo $1
shift
done
}

processArgs $* If I call this script with Code: ./script first second third it'll print each of the argument on a new line - exactly what I would expect. However if I call it with

Code: ./script "Single Argument" "Second-Argument" it splits the first argument in two using the space as a delimitor. The problem appears to be the call to processArgs, where $* doesn't honour the quotes around the variables sent to the script.
