Now i currently have this code:

However for some reason my output is:

See how the 2011 has been placed next to it? i ran it with -x and saw this:

I'm just starting out with shell-scripting, but having a problem with making new text files with the touch or cat > commands.
What I've been doing is touch testfile1.txt
Also, I've tried cat > testfile1.txt (text)
Console reports "bash: text1.txt: No such file or directory. Consfusingly, it works fine in the home-directory. But if I move the file to where I want it, I can no longer view, edit, etc. it.
Just using shell scripting, how can I insert text into the middle of a file name. The file has a predictable pattern, let's say 3 letters and 3 numbers and I want to insert text in the middle of those 2 patterns. Say ABC123 is the file name. As a result, the file name should be ABC.blah.123

The value for the vatriable would be coming from a file with three columns. I'm using the awk command for this. Am I doing it correctly? which of the following two ways is the better one or if both are wrong which one should I use?

inputfile=$1
rolename=$2

I've been doing Finite Element simulations with the Ansys software for several years now, and recently I have been allowed to use a cluster running on Linux (it's a Sun Grid Engine, or SGE). Since I am quite newbie to this thing, I have read a lot on the internet to get more familiar with the Unix language. I found some example codes which are supposed to launch Ansys and read input files, but it does not work for me. Actually, what I want to do is simple:
1- I need to use Ansys 12.1 in batch mode, with the Academic Research license (which is called "aa_r");
2- The software should then read my input file (which is an APDL command file (in case you are familiar with it..)) and save the database and results in my working directory on the server.
The software is located in the following path:
/ansys_inc/v121/ansys/bin/ansys121
My working directory:
/home/myusername/
From what I've found on the web, I have to write a shell script that calls the software and specifies the details (batch mode, license name, input file, ...). Then I have to call this script by using the command "qsub".
Script: myjob.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
nohup /ansys_inc/v121/ansys/bin/ansys121 -b nolist -p aa_r -j jobname -i jobname.inp -o jobname.out 2>&1 &

how come I can create a shell script file with two functions, I can execute the file, but when running declare -f, the functions are not on memory, and when invoking the function bash returns invalid. In the other hand, I can copy & paste the two functions at the end of my /etc/bashrc file.... then I can called the function by name.... and the commands within that function run on my session. here is a print of all my bash packets:

Does Fedora has restrictions on shell scripting? I haven't touch bash in seven years, so if things have change on it I'm behind on it, and sorry for my ignorance.
I want to find maximum length file in a given directory. It should search recursivley. I want this to be done using ls and simple looping constructs.

How can I add a " # " pound sign at the beginning of every line in a file. So if I want to remark out every line in a file, what would be the global expression for that? Is there a global expression cheat sheet?
I am working on a simple script that should take two command line arguments, a [number] and a [name]. The first thing the script should do is check to make sure that no more and no less than two command line arguments have been entered when calling the script - an error message should be delivered if the condition is not true.
If two args have been entered, then the message 'processing "scriptname"' should appear, where scriptname is the name of the script being called. The script should then write to the screen "Hi [name]!", and should write this phrase [number] of times. For example, the command $ myscript 2 joe would produce the output: I have read the manual many times looking for examples, and I am very close by virtue of my own efforts. Further, I have searched these forums and others for good examples, which have also gotten me very close. Still my script is not completing the objective, and I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Script:

I am trying to learn shell scripting and came up with a lil first script that I could actually use.I have a basic shell script and all it does is run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
So basically just a shell script that updates your packages. NOW, my question. I made another shell script that makse a bit of a menu and asks what you wanna do, 1 to UPDATE or 2, to CLOSE. How do I make it so when they enter 1 it runs my update.sh ?
I need to write a shell script which can ready content of the folder and place files on remote FTP server. I need to make sure that a file that is already placed on remote FTP server is not attempted second time. The file names will be something like Records-2011-05-09. The files will be generated by MySQL every hour.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a shell script similar to ls, but which only lists directories. I have the first half working (no argument version), but trying to make it accept an argument, I am failing. My logic is sound I think, but I'm missing something on the syntax.
Code:
if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
d=`pwd`
for i in * ; do
if test -d $d/$i ; then
echo "$i:"
code....
ch[1]=0; ch[2]=0; ch[3]=0; ch[4]=0; ch[5]=0; ch[6]=0; ch[7]=0; ch[8]=0; ch[9]=0; ch[10]=0;ch[11]=0; ch[12]=0; ch[13]=0; ch[14]=0; ch[15]=0 ch[16]=0; ch[17]=0; ch[18]=0; ch[19]=10; ch[20]=0;
I have an array ch and I want to increment each element in my array for the following if statement. I'm not sure I have the right array increment syntax but I have tried it in different ways ant it doesn't seem to work.
I tried ch[$1]++, ch[$1]+1, ch[$1++], ch[$1]+=1, ch[$1]=ch[$1]+1 none of these seem to work.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThere are five folders in a folder and I want to select one randomly. I used this command:
Code:

but it selects files too. I have no idea about this code even. I found it on a forum.

Given that I want my shell script be invoked at the command line using the above parameters - where [these brackets] denote that they are optional - what is the best method to parse them?
I am using Linux on my system. I don't have gui for my system, only console is there.
I have some task to create a menu box window using dialog in shell scripting.
I have to take input from user & save it in a file.
But this should like html form as e.g.
Name - .....................
email id - ..................
phone - ......................
location - ...................
Submit Cancel
Such window should be displayed on console using dialog & then user will enter his information there as Name,email id, phone,etc & submit it, then it gets saved to a file. Here submit & cancle are buttons. I have to do it in bash shell scripting. Or give me some examples like the above with shell script code.
I am running an application called QuantiSNP [URL]. The binary file is "quantisnp2", called upon in the "run_quantisnp2.sh" supplied by the authors. I am only able to run the application for single file processing (e.g. 1 input file for 1 sample; I can't run the batch file processing because I don't have the necessary BeadStudio report files, which has different formatting for the input files).
The difficulty is that I have 300 samples (300 unique sample IDs) and 3 input files for each sample for a total of 900 runs of this application. I am wondering how would I be able to automate this process as a shell script instead of basically manually changing the sample ID and respective input files every time a run completes? I bolded the single file processing shell script command line options below that need to be changed for each sample/input single file processing run. The command line option "--sampleid" is for the name given to the processed output files corresponding to the sample of interest and there are 3 input files for each sample.
/home2/jason/QuantiSNP/quantisnp/linux64/run_quantisnp2.sh /home2/jason/QuantiSNP/MCR/v79/ --config /home2/jason/QuantiSNP/quantisnp/config/params.dat --levels /home2/jason/QuantiSNP/quantisnp/config/levels-affy.dat --outdir /home2/jason/QuantiSNP/quantisnp_out/ --sampleid sample1 --gender female --input-files /home2/jason/files/sample1_input.txt
Note that each sample has 3 input files, for a total of 3 runs of "quantisnp2" for each sample. e.g.
SAMPLEID INFILE
sample1 /home2/jason/files/sample1_input.txt
sample1 /home2/jason/files/sample1_input2.txt
sample1 /home2/jason/files/sample1_input3.txt
[code]....
what command is to be used to call strings from other files to the script and then comparing strings from two different files in the script to check if strings are matched then return the result to another script.
