Now that I have just the numbers displayed within the file is there anyway I can call upon the numbers in a script so I can perform the workings out on them?
What i'm trying to achieve to get is the difference between the readings:
then call upon them in my script to do the maths - how would I assign the varibles within my script and how do I get these variables into my script?
OR:
is there a way to select line 1 from the file and make it a variable in my script then line 2 etc (remembering that these numbers are random so "greping" will not work).
Regards
If you get the numbers by themselves in a file, you can do the below to set them to variables.
Code:
COUNT=0
for num in `cat tmpfile2`
do
COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1`
eval r${COUNT}=$num
done
echo "$r1 $r2 $r3 $r4"
I have a file which contains lots of text (comment field). I would like to parse through the comment field which can be up to 255 characters long and look for anything that seems to resemble, say, a credit card number or customer account number, etc. and replace the numbers with asteriks (*).

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop
commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com-
mand.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
