I am writing a for loop that will go through this file line by line creating a variable of itself. Using the first iteration of the loop (i.e. the first line) as an example, I want it to create a variable called
db_serial and populate it with value 0623AN1208
on the next iteration create a variable called
db_hostname and populate it with value server1
etc etc
so i have tried
Code:
cat /tmp/CMDB | while read n
do
VAR=db_`echo $n | cut -d: -f1`
VALUE=`echo $n | cut -d: -f2`
eval `echo $VAR`=`echo $VALUE`
done
# echo it all out after the loop has finished
echo "DB serial is set to $db_serial"
echo "DB hostname is set to $db_hostname"
echo "DB model is set to $db_model"
echo "DB Asset ID is set to $db_assetID"
Plus a whole load of other combinations and i just cant get the thing to work
Im sure the problem is with my use of the "eval" command which is effectively using another variable to create a variable, and assigning the value from another variable
I would like to know how to pass a variable inside a variable to a function.
sample code below
--------------
for x in 1 9
do
check_null $C$x ##call function to check if the value is null
if
then
echo "line number:$var_cnt,... (2 Replies)
