awk syntax error
I generate a fullpath variable two different ways:
1) concat two variables rootpath and relpath to give me fullpath
2) use 'find' to get the fullpath
when I echo the variable, I get the same output for both. However,
I print the variable from method 1 in the below loop I get "awk syntax error near line 1" The second method works fine
while read line
do
if test $i -ge 1;
then
echo "$line" | awk -F'|' '{print "cd" " '$fullpath'/" }' >> RemoveFiles.sh
echo "$line" | awk -F'|' '{print "rm \""$1 "\"" }' >> RemoveFiles.sh
fi
i=$i+1
done < $input
contents of fullpath:
/supmm/su/gsa44/svr/locs/workloc
From echo there are no differences between the two variables
Can anyone explain why method 1 does not work but method 2 does?
thanks,

impressive-gettransitions
IMPRESSIVE-GETTRANSITIONS(1) Debian GNU/Linux manual IMPRESSIVE-GETTRANSITIONS(1)
NAME
impressive-gettransitions - Generate Impressive info scripts for LaTeX presentations
SYNOPSIS
impressive-gettransitions FILE.tex
DESCRIPTION
A simple script to produce a .info file for use with Impressive, using special comments in a LaTeX/Beamer file. FILE.tex is a file to be
parsed into .info file. For each /fullpath/blah.tex /fullpath/blah.pdf.info gets produced.
SYNTAX
In the LaTeX document, impressive-gettransitions counts the pages to determine the PDF slide number of each one.
The simpler page changes are automatically detected, that is:
egin{frame} and:
pause
Other, more elaborated page changes must be noted with a %O comment:
item<1-> Foo
item<2-> Bar %O
The transition to apply can be specified in a %O comment:
egin{frame} %O SlideUp
OPERATION
When the .info file corresponding to the LaTeX document already exist, impressive-gettransitions does not clear it, but only adds the
transitions if finds to it.
Thus, if you modified your document in a way that requires to completely replace the transitions, manually clear the PageProps section of
the .info file. This can be done by running the following sed command:
sed -i -e "/^PageProps = {/,/^}/d" FILE.info
