View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get multiple numeric valued version information into a variable, all on the same line. I want for example $VERSION=3.1.0.01.002. I'm trying to pull seperate values from the file named version.properties, wherein the file contains;
patch.rel.num=0
sqa.num=01
major.rel.num=3
build.num=002
minor.rel.num=1
So I have the following script:
#!/bin/bash
BUILDVERFILE="version.properties"
PATCH=`grep "patch.rel.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
SQA=`grep "sqa.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
MAJOR=`grep "major.rel.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
BUILD=`grep "build.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
MINOR=`grep "minor.rel.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
P=`echo $PATCH | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
S=`echo $SQA | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
MA=`echo $MAJOR | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
B=`echo $BUILD | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
MI=`echo $MINOR | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
VERSION=$MA.$MI.$P.$S.$B
echo $VERSION #
I end up with the value of .002 ?? Seems like it's only getting the last portion because if I run the script thru "bash -x" I get:
...
+ VERSION=$'3
.1
.0
.01
.002
'
+ echo $'3
.1
.0
.01
.002

$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe.

I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...

Can someone point me in the right direction
I tried
Code:
chown -R owner:group *
which does not work on the invisible directories (why?). When I used ".*" as wildcard it changed all (visible) files including the parent directory (the one I was currently working in which is the "dot") . I can change the invisible directories owner and group using dophin but how is it done from the command line?
how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

How can we do everything, or as much as we can do, from the command line? In particular, I am trying to get rid of the top panel in Ubuntu. Because,
1) It takes unnecessary valuable space.
2) Even if I use a huge monitor, it introduces distraction to me while working.
I created a shortcut so that with a single keyboard key I can open a terminal. For example, if I want to restart the computer, I use: "sudo shutdown -r now". Or I can even create a shorter alias. So I do not need the logout menu. But my problem is, some programs put an icon on the top panel when they are working. So, what is the best way of using command line, and getting rid of the top menu.

About two months ago I upgraded my dual boot Linux-x86-64 Vista from Heron to 10.04 Lucid. Initially everything worked fine including wireless etc. Once I accidentally changed a few /etc permissions which caused a problem, but fixed it going into recovery mode. For the past weeks, I only used the windows. Over the weekend I tried logging into Ubuntu, the gnome would not come up. So, I went into recovery mode and typed "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" which also went through. However, after that I lost the recovery options. I had used that command very successfully in the past. Right now, I have no command line that would allow me to type something. I was wondering if there are any keys Alt+Del + something that would give me a prompt I can work with. I'm totally baffled as to how this can happen.

View 8 Replies View Relateddirect me to a good beginner's guide to Debian? Or explain some things briefly. Where can I learn how to use the Terminal Command Line? How do you add programs to Debian and what all is supported? What are packages in Debian and what can they do? Installing programs is different as expected. I tried installing Firefox, I downloaded it and extracted it into my home directory. I can run it with the Terminal Command: ~/firefox/firefox [When in the home directory] and it works. Is that how it is intended to work? Just random thing there. I guess in a sense, I just really want to learn about every aspect of Debian Linux in a user-friendly type environment.
