Double Spacing complex sed pipeline
my script:
Code:
 
FILE="$1"
echo "You Entered $FILE"
if [ -f $FILE ]; then
tmp=$(cat $FILE | sed '/./!d' | sed -n '/regex/,/regex/{/regex/d;p}'| sed -n '/---/,+2!p' | sed -n '/#/!p' | sed 's/^[\
]*//' | sed -e\
s/[^:]*:// | sed -n '/==> /!p' | sed -n '/--> /!p' | sed -n '/regex/,+1!p' | sed -n '/======/!p' | sed -n '/regex/!p' | sed -n '\
/regex/!p' | sed -n '/regex /!p')
fi
MyVar=$(echo $tmp > my.txt)
FILE2="$2"
if [ -f $FILE2 ]; then
tmp2=$(cat $FILE2 | sed -n '/regex/,/regex/{/regex/d;p}' | sed -n '/#/!p' | sed -e s/[^:]*:// | sed /--------/,+10d)
fi
echo "You Entered $FILE2"
MyVar2=$(echo $tmp2 > my2.txt)
var=$(echo hi2.txt | sed '/^$/p' )
echo "$var"
cmp -b my.txt my2.txt

i know, i know. thats a long pipeline..my problem is that i cant seem to include anywhere in it to be able to double space it. sed G sed '/^$/p' or awk, they just really doesnt register. the sed pipeline is to long for me to do that.. ..

Anyways , what i have looks similar to the paragraph that i just typed. And probably this one when im through. the exception to this and my text file is that it has valid commands. nothing else. So it makes sense for me double space the file iim talking about and then somehow to use a loop to execute each line ( contaiing the comands ) .

i really struck. i really need help.

nwbpset

NWBPSET(1)							      nwbpset								NWBPSET(1)

NAME

       nwbpset - Create a bindery property or set its value

SYNOPSIS

       nwbpset [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ]

DESCRIPTION

       nwbpset Reads a property specification from the standard input and creates and sets the corresponding property. The format is determined by
       the output of 'nwbpvalues -c'. nwbpset will hopefully become an important part of the bindery management suite of ncpfs, together with

       As another example, look at the following command line:

	 nwbpvalues -t 1 -o supervisor -p user_defaults -c |
	 sed '2s/.*/ME/'|
	 sed '3s/.*/LOGIN_CONTROL/'|
	 nwbpset

       With this command, the property user_defaults of the user object 'supervisor' is copied into the property login_control of the user  object
       'me'.

	 nwbpvalues -t 1 -o me -p login_control -c |
	 sed '9s/.*/ff/'|
	 nwbpset

       This command disables the user object me.

       Feel free to contribute other examples!

       nwbpset looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information.
       Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.

OPTIONS

       -h
	  -h is used to print out a short help text.

       -S server
	  server is the name of the server you want to use.

       -U user
	  user is the user name to use for login.

       -P password
	  password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to  the  server,  nwbpset
	  prompts for a password.

       -n
	  -n should be given if no password is required for the login.

       -C
	  By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
	  this conversion by -C.
