Great (and thanks), this got me 99% there. Here's a snippet of what I have, using your idea:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
USERLIST="/Users/johndoe/.bin/xBackup_users"
SRCHFOR="W8735UL8Z5V"
#
USERNAME=`awk -F "," '/W8735UL8Z5V/{print $2}' $USERLIST`
PASSWORD=`awk -F "," '/W8735UL8Z5V/{print $3}' $USERLIST`
RSYNCIP=`awk -F "," '/W8735UL8Z5V/{print $4}' $USERLIST`
#
clear
echo
echo Your account name is $USERNAME
echo Your password is $PASSWORD
echo Your IP address is $RSYNCIP
echo
exit
To finish this, I'd rather use the variable SRCHFOR in the awk command and I've tried it several ways, but aren't sure how to get it to work. (I already separate code that extracts the serial number from the machine.)
Any final ideas?
