General :: Parse String In Bash Script?
Nov 8, 2009
I have to create a bash script that takes an arbitrary length number from the command line, and add up each individual digit
Ex:
server> myscript.sh 123
server> 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
The problem I'm having is pulling out each character.
Is there a way in bash I can parse the input string for each character? I can't figure out a way to do this.

I want to write a bash script to parse a text file with the following lines and set variables for each line so that I can use them in the rest of the script.
Timestamp=123456789
Company=ABC Company
Server=Server
Recipient=Joe Smith
Email=joe@abc.com
simplest way to read each line one at a time for everything before the =, set that to a variable name with the value equal to everything after the =

I do this:
Code:
a@b:~$ export A=hi
a@b:~$ echo $A
hi
a@b:~$ bash -c "export A=blah; echo $A"
hi
a@b:~$
Why doesn't the bash command print the new value of $A? Is there a way to make it do so?

I'm trying to write a script where I want to check if any of the parameters passed to a bash script match a string. The way I have it setup right now is if [ "$3" != "-disCopperBld" -a "$4" != "-disCopperBld" -a "$5" != "-disCopperBld" -a "$6" != "-disCopperBld"]but there might be a large number of parameters, so I was wondering if there is a better way to do this?EDIT:I tried this chunk of code out, and called the script with the option, -disableVenusBld, but it still prints out "Starting build". Am I doing something wrong?
while [ $# -ne 0 ]
do
arg="$1"

I'm trying to figure out how I can get a request count per CIDR/24 from an apache log in combined format - e.g.:
Code:
24.147.44.122 - frank [10/Oct/2011:13:55:36 -0700] "GET /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.0" 200 2326 "[URL] "Mozilla/4.08 [en] (Win98; I ;Nav)"
I'm stuck using BASH for this and I generally write everything in Python, or even Perl if necessary so BASH isn't the most comfortable for me. I've got enough to extract the IPs and get a count I just need a slick way to come up with a sum on a per CIDR basis.

(variable substitution?)
(parameter expansion?)
Code:
run_repeatedly()
{
NUM=0
while [ <irrelevant stuff here> ]
[Code]....
run_repeatedly "programX -o "./messy/path/output-$NUM.txt"" The echo inside the loop prints "...-$NUM.txt"; obviously I'm aiming to have bash substitute the iteration number so that I end up with many output files not 1.

");

I am trying to think of a logic where my file contains some data I had to read and do some processing. Issue is that file contains data multiple times. For example:
:::::::::::
var1=value1
var2=value2
[code].....
I have to read first paragraph of variables and do some processing and then move on until the end of file. Variable names are same in whole file but for each paragraph the value is different. I can't think of a logic to attain this task. How can I do it? It should be a simple bash script, but I am not able to work out.
