Get enviroment variables into AWK, but not quite that simple!
Hi,
I have a script which loops through a file and based on the fields in the file does certain things. I'm just testing the final version and come up against a problem.
One of the things is to copy files, so the line in the release.file would look like this.
COPY my_file $COPY_DIR 777
where COPY_DIR is an environment variable pointing at a directory on the server. It has to be this way because the script will be run on several machines, where $COPY_DIR is different.
At the moment the script looks as follows
cat release.file |grep -v ^# |
while read line; do
type=`echo $line | cut -d" " -f1`
case $type in
.....
.....
COPY) echo "Running COPY for `echo $line | awk '{print $2}' -`";
echo "Copying to `echo $line | awk '{print $3}' -`";
echo "Setting chmod to `echo $line | awk '{print $4}' -`";
ls -al `echo $line | awk '{print $3 "/" $2}' -`;
cp `echo $line | awk '{print $2 " " "$3"}' -`;
chmod `echo $line | awk '{print $4 " " $3 "/" $2}' -`;
ls -al `echo $line | awk '{print $3"/"$2}' -`;
;;
.....
.....
esac
done
This just doesn't work. I've looked at ENVIRON but not sure this would work, so I'm at a loss to work this out. Any help much appreciated.
