Programming :: Bash Thinks String Variable Is A Numeric One

Code:

I think read A1 A2 makes A1, A2 string variables. Then, when A2 gets the value 01, '01' should be a string. But for some reason bash takes it as numeric. I know there are no types in bash.

Programming :: Make A New Variable With The String From The Old Variable Btut Without Any Plus Sign?

Apr 7, 2010

my script has a variable which comes in the form +00.00 +0.00 -00.00 or -0.00 (the numbers can be any in that form) for any that have a + symbol I need to remove the +, but if it has a - symbol it needs to stay.

i need to make a new variable with the string from the old variable btut without any plus sign. I have tried a lot of different ways with no success, each thing I tried either left the + or removed the entire string. I think this should work but doesn't

foo=+12.40
bar=${foo#+}

General :: Bash: Substitute Parameter In A Quoted String - Stored In Another Variable

Jan 31, 2010

(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.

Programming :: Bash - Read Content Of File To Variable And Use This Variable In For Loop ?

Aug 21, 2009

I'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.

For example:

Code:

Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).

Programming :: Pass A Path As A String To A Variable?

Apr 17, 2009

I'm trying to pass a path as a string to an array, but its evaluating it as a command instead. I want to take the literal string "/mnt/accounts/user/temp/*.jpg" and assign it to an array{1}, but when i echo the array variable, it displays it as

I just want it to be the actual text "/mnt/accounts/user/temp/*.jpg" which i will be combining with other text to create a longer path elsewhere in the code.

Programming :: Variable Substitution In BASH?

Feb 17, 2011

Just a simple BASH for loop to read the file path from a text file (clean.txt) echo the variable for debug purposes, and scp it to a server I have using port 50 for SSH.

I've already formatted the entries in clean.txt to handle spaces correctly, using sed replacement.

Example from the clean.txt file:

Code:
/MP3/NAS000000001/Barenaked Ladies/Barenaked Ladies - Barenaked For The Holidays/20 Auld Lang Syne.mp3
/MP3/NAS000000001/Barenaked Ladies/Barenaked Ladies - Barenaked For The Holidays/14 Deck the Stills.mp3

Programming :: (BASH) Keep Variable In Scope?

Jul 15, 2011

i've just started to learn about functions in Bash scripting. I'm able to set the functions and execute the commands correctly. However, if my_var is set in the first function and then later in the script in the script the 2nd function is called, it doesn't seem to remember my_var and quits (at least i suspect this is the problem).

Here's my code (it requires yad available via webupd8. org). My specific problem seems to lay in line #27 where if we view the changelog and then exit that window, it returns to the "main" function but any subsequent commands cause a crash. Is this because of the get command on line #29? It's presumably now out of scope after calling menu on line #25?

Programming :: Bash - Passing Variable To Ssh?

May 8, 2010

I have a file with around 1000 IP addresses in it and I need to be able to ssh into each one of them, run a single command, and then exit. I already know the ssh command I want to run and it looks like this:

Code:

shpass -p [password] ssh -p 10022 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@[ip variable] 'reboot'

(I know shpass is not good to use and keys are the correct way but I don't have any other options in this scenario.) if these ip addresses were in a .csv file, by themselves with no other information, how would I create a script to do the above command to each ip until the end of the file?

Programming :: Passing A Variable To Bc In Bash ?

Jan 14, 2009

I cannot for the life of me get this little (simple) script I wrote to work. Here is the entire script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
ASPECT=`mediainfo $1 |grep "Display aspect ratio" |cut -d : -f 2`
HEIGHT=`echo "320 / $ASPECT" |bc`
SIZE=`echo 320x$HEIGHT`

[code]......

An input filename ($1) is fed into mediainfo, which by the use of grep and cut spits out a single number which is the aspect ratio. This is then divided by bc into 320, which gives the desired height dimension for the file that I want ffmpeg to create for me. Finally, ffmpeg runs using the calculated dimensions... Basically, it's the passing of the $ASPECT variable to bc that seems to fail. It looks like bc won't read the output from the mediainfo line... It always crashes out with:

Code:

(standard_in) 1: illegal character: ^M I've tried doing something even simpler like this to debug by just trying it to display the calculation on the screen:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
ASPECT=`mediainfo $1 |grep "Display aspect ratio" |cut -d : -f 2`
HEIGHT=`echo "320 / $ASPECT" |bc`
echo $HEIGHT

and it does the same, so it's definitely bc that won't accept the output from mediainfo.

Programming :: Bash Redirection With Exec: Specify Fd With Variable?

Feb 21, 2010

Within a bash script, I'm attempting to redirect file descriptors with exec, e.g. exec 3>&1 1>&2; however, I'd like to do something like exec $FD>&1 1>&2, which doesn't work because bash tries to execute the value of $FD. Various placements of eval fail, as well. Is there a way around this, or am I stuck hard-coding the descriptor?
