Need help with a post-processor

Retribution · #1 (**permalink**) 11-23-2006

So here is a snippet from an analysis of test runs conducted in a robot experiment in the form of a table:

-----------------------------
| TN | TE | PA | PB |
-----------------------------
| Y | N | - | B |
| N | Y | A | B |

TN = Is the target north?
TE = Is the target east?
PA = Is there a passage ahead?
PB = Is there a passage behind?

How would I go about in writing a BASH script that accepts from the standard input for example:

Code:

echo "| Y | N | - | B |" | ./test

(Straight into the terminal)

And give the output "Target is north, passage behind" for that particular example? This script must take into condition all possible scenarios when conducting the test.

Another example would be:

Code:

 echo "|       N       |     Y     |       A      |      B      |" | ./test

This would output on the standard out "Target is east, passage ahead, passage behind". If anyone can hint me in the right direction then that would be truly appreciated!
