View 1 RepliesI tried using the tail command in my shell script and storing that value in a variable a but an error keeps coming. Is there any other way to store the output of a command into a variable. Cannot Read text from text file and store it in a variable using shell script. The thing is I need a number from the file new.txt and use that number in my script
#!/bin/bash
a = `tail -1 new.txt|head -n 1`
echo $a
Suppose I want to account number of files beginning with abc , I can use "ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l", this will return me a number.
I want to store this number in a variable, say var1, so I tried
1. "ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l |read var1", but this didn't work as var1 has no value somehow.
2. var1='ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l', this just assign the entire string "ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l" to var1, which is not I wanted.
I don't want to store the value to a temporary file and then read the value from that file. I think there should be a direct way to get the value, but don't know how. I know in tcsh, one can just use set var1='ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l', but it also doesn't work in bash. Can anyone give any clue about this?
I want to store the result of wc -l as a variable so I can use it later in my script...so far unsuccessfully.
I have tried this:
set `echo awk '{ print $1, $6}' | wc -l` | echo $1
but it is far from working.
I am trying to watch a command and try to log it into a file. I tried
watch -t -n 10 "(date '+TIME:%H:%M:%S'
; ps aux | grep "pattern" | wc -l)" >>
logfile
and am expecting a result like
TIME: 10:32:30 12
TIME: 10:32:40 18
TIME: 10:32:50 2
to be stored in logfile. However, when the logfile has unprintable characters in in. How do I get this kind of output from the command li
Code:
ls Again the command can be stored in a variable and then executed. Like
Code:
var=ls
&var
The above two codes are the same. The problem occurs when we try to pipeline it. Consider the following problem:
Code:
ls | grep *
works fine...but when we try to store it in a variable and run the command there is an error.
Code:
var="ls|grep *"
$var
how to store this kind of commands in a variable?

I would like to grep two numbers out of a text file, and divide them.
Here is the script code...
It feels like grep saves a new line too? or what is happening? i simply can't divide them, as it handles the variables as they are empty (and prints the two numbers although they were not printed
For example, when using bash you can use
Code:
to execute the previous command or
Code:
!<number> to execute the Nth command(use history to see the list). Or you can use
Code:
cd !-2:1
to cd into the value in the first field that was executed 2 commands ago Anyhow, say I run a command and the output is a path. Any way to cd and then some variable where OUTPUT of the previous command was stored? A variable that always stores the OUTPUT of the last command.
On command line I have no problem storing a variable e.g
Code:
:~/bin$ process=`ps -ef | awk ' $8 == "idesk" { print $2 }'`
:~/bin$ echo $process
26736
:~/bin$
When I try to incorporate this into a shell script I get a blank.
Code:
:~/bin$ cat process_idesk
#!/bin/bash
process=`ps -ef | awk ' $8 == "idesk" { print $2 }'`
[code]....
The process_idesk script has been chmoded to be executable by the user. I'm sure there must be a silly omission on my behalf.
I have this script:
Code:
a=awk'{print $8}' f1.txt
How can I make it store lines in $a ? In the way above it creates one big line.
I am not able to execute a multiple sed statement using pipe filters in a variable. i am trying to extract a path from a file and then working on that path to change a few letters within the path by going through another sed statement.
the code looks like this code...
i need to count the number of files and put the output into a variable. i used wc -l filename but i couldnt find an option to put the output to variable. example if the number o line is 5, i need the output of echo $x is 5.

I have two students whose windows laptops are riddled with malware and not working properly. They want me to help them install Linux (which we use in school), but they are concerned about their iTunes.
Having avoided iPods as "defective by design", I know nothing about iTunes whatsoever. However I remember reading about DRM locking and such problems that have me concerned that I won't be able to do it.
Where does iTunes store its stuff?
Can I copy its data store to an external drive, and then into a linux home?
Then will it work on wine, or can another manager (rhythmbox etc) access the itunes data?
Alternatively, if I partition the drive and install linux, can rythmbox/wine/something access itunes data on the win partition?
Supposing they are buying music through iTunes, what will happen to that account?
Finally, one of them has an iphone. Does that work with linux?
Ironic that an apple application is blocking migration away from windows.

New to ubuntu and shell scripting in general... currently I stored some data into a text file. Right now, I would like to output the data from the text file and store it into a variable. Here's what I have so far:
READ_FILE=$(cat $FILE_NAME)
This definitely works and READ_FILE has the necessary data. However, this command will trigger an output to std output and I will see data on the screen, which is not what I want. I tried:
cat $FILE_NAME | $READ_FILE
and various other variants of this. It does not output to std output but neither does anything gets stored into $READ_FILE. I tried:
cat $FILE_NAME >> $READ_FILE
and it arrived at an error of "ambiguous redirect".
I have a line that looks something like this:

I have to save the result of ssh/grep into a file to keep the eol ("/n"):
ssh $SSH_OPTIONS $USER@$NODE "cd $LOG_DIR; grep -h '$pattern' log.*" > $file
So that when I grep on the local file again later, it can be printed out with original log lines. Otherwise, the log lines will be dropped and lines becomes concatenated into a single line, e.g., if I rewrite the script in this way, echoing the $result is not a good idea..
result=`ssh $SSH_OPTIONS $USER@$NODES "cd $LOG_DIR; grep -h '$pattern' log.*"`
is there some workaround that I can save it to a variable rather than file but still keep the eol? That will simplify my script and don't need to do all those I/Os!
I have a bash script that calls a java class method. The method returns a string to the linux console when run independently. how can I assign the value from the java method to a variable in a bash script?running the script: java -cp /opt/my_dir/class.method [parameter]
output: my_string if added in a bash script:
read parameter
java -cp /opt/my_dir/class.method [parameter] | read the_output
echo $the_output
the above doesnt work, I also tried unsuccessfully:
the_output=java -cp /opt/my_dir/class.method [parameter]
the_output=`java -cp /opt/my_dir/class.method [parameter]`
java -cp /opt/my_dir/class.method [parameter] 2>&1
How can i get the output stored into the_output variable?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two files :
FileA
prot1
prot5
prot9
prot15
[Code]....
What I need to do is to extract from fileB the fields containing only the strings in fileA.
I thought awk could do the job easily with :
Code:
awk 'BEGIN { RS = "###" } /'$variable'/' fileB > output
where variable would maybe be the output of grep from fileA. So can I store the output of grep in a variable to use it afterwards with awk ?
something like that:
Code:
result=`grep prot. fileA` ; awk 'BEGIN { RS = "###" } /'$result'/' fileB > output
but that doesn't work. I'm always getting the entire fileB.
The output of grep get stored in the variable, I verified that with echo. So there is something that I just don't get... It seems to me that the above line should work.
I am supposed to create an environment variable with the PRINTER variable, which should resolve to the word sales. Would the command be like this?: env PRINTER - NAME=SALES (is this the command to create that variable with resolving the word sales to it?)
