I would 1st change the commas and blanks that don't belong to the string into newlines so that every string is on a separate line and then pipe them into a while/read loop, where I can do something with every single line that is being processed:
As example I just added that "bla" in front of every read line. You can do something else inside that while loop that would make more sense of course. If it is just for formatting text you could maybe just do it all in sed or awk etc.
I have a script that converts a file into an html table. This script works fine for a 1 column table. However, I'm trying to do this for a multi-column table. My input file will look something like this:
a b c
d e f
g h i
My script basically works by taking in each line and putting that... (2 Replies)

Hi All
I need to put a bunch of specific files in a directory (with loads of other files), into a tar archive. The best way I thought of doing this was putting the filenames into a file, reading them line by line in a for loop, and then adding them to a tar acrhive.
However the filenames have... (6 Replies)

How do I loop thru space separated values in a variable?
I hate to use very complicated counter increment logic for this kind of simple problem.
Expected result(using ksh)

smd-loop
smd-loop(1) Sync Mail Dir (smd) documentation smd-loop(1)NAME
smd-loop - iterates smd-pull and smd-push
SYNOPSIS
smd-loop [-vt]
DESCRIPTION
smd-loop runs smd-push and smd-pull at regular intervals as defined by the user in the ~/.smd/loop configuration file. On errors that are
reported to be transient, it retries a second time before failing.
The configuration file is line-oriented. Each line is composed of three space separated fields: pull-frequency, push-frequency and end-
point-name. Frequencies are expressed in minutes, while endpoint name is a valid name for smd-pull(1) and smd-push(1). Lines beginning with
# are considered as comments. The following example calls the command smd-pull default every 3 minutes, and smd-push default every 10.
Example:
# pull-frequency push-frequency endpoint-name
3 10 default
OPTIONS -v Increase program verbosity (printed on stderr)
-t Just create a template configuration file if none
