  • [bash] Escape a string for sed search pattern

    - by Alexander Gladysh
    In my bash script I have an external (received from user) string, which I should use in sed pattern. REPLACE="<funny characters here>" sed "s/KEYWORD/$REPLACE/g" How can I escape the $REPLACE string so it would be safely accepted by sed as a literal replacement? NOTE: The KEYWORD is a dumb substring with no matches etc. It is not supplied by user.

    - by Werner
    Hi, this is probably a very stupid question; in a bash script, given the output of, for instance; awk '{print $7}' temp it gives 0.54546 I would like to give this to a variable, so I tried: read ENE <<< $(awk '{print $7}' temp) but I get Syntax error: redirection unexpected Could you tell me why, and what is the easiest way to do this assignment? Thanks

  • Source operator doesn't work in if construction in bash

    - by Igor
    Hello, I'd like to include a config file in my bash script with 2 conditions: 1) the config file name is constructed on-the-fly and stored in variable, and 2) in case if config file doesn't exist, the script should fail: config.cfg: CONFIGURED=yes test.sh: #!/bin/sh $CFG=config.cfg echo Source command doesn't work here: [ -f $CFG ] && ( source $CFG ) || (echo $CFG doesnt exist; exit 127) echo $CONFIGURED echo ... but works here: source $CFG echo $CONFIGURED What's wrong in [...] statement?

  • Command to escape a string in bash

    - by User1
    I need a bash command that will convert a string to something that is escaped. Here's an example: echo "hello\world"|escape|someprog Where the escape command makes "hello\world" into "hello\\world". Then, someprog can use "hello\world" as it expects. Of course, this is a simplified example of what I will really be doing.

  • [bash] files indexed by production date

    - by caas
    Each day an application creates a file called file_YYYYMMDD.csv where YYYYMMDD is the production date. But sometimes the generation fails and no files are generated for a couple of days. I'd like an easy way in a bash or sh script to find the filename of the most recent file, which has been produced before a given reference date. Typical usage: find the last generated file, disregarding those produced after the May 1st. Thanks for your help

  • How to create a CPU spike with a bash command

    - by User1
    I want to create a near 100% load on a Linux machine. It's quad core system and I want all cores going full speed. Ideally, the CPU load would last a designated amount of time and then stop. I'm hoping there's some trick in bash. I'm thinking some sort of infinite loop.

  • Get color output in bash

    - by Werner
    Hi, when compiling some projects on linux terminal, I get usually a long output consisting of a lot of information. Usually this information is MONOCHROME. I wonder if bash can be modified somehow, so in all outputs or in some specific outputs (like from Makefile, etc) I can get different colors dependeing on, for instance: make[1]: Leaving directory or g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. etc. Thanks
