Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Splitting a string and putting another string in the middle? Post 302337699 by jisoo411 on Friday 24th of July 2009 04:57:55 PM
Old 07-24-2009
I was working off an example script which is why the export is there. Now that I know it's not necessary I've taken it off Smilie I'm pretty new at this so I'm kind of learning as I go.

Removing the spaces did the trick, thanks! One more question, I'm trying to implement this whole apparatus inside of a loop statement so that I can read all these filenames from a list file. From an example I found online I put together this:

Code:
 
#!/bin/ksh
 
listfile=myfiles.lst
 
for i in ${listfile}
 
do
 
  temp=`echo $i | awk -F"." -v d=$(date "+%Y%m%d") '{print $1 "_" d FS $2}'`
  mv $i $temp
 
done

The problem is that it works but in the wrong way, instead of applying the datestamp to the items in the list, it takes the actual list file and applies the datestamp to it: myfiles_20090724.lst. I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong in the first line of the for statement where I'm trying to isolate a single line item in the variable $i. Can you shed a little light on the subject?

Thanks again,
Glen

NAME
lcp_crtpollist - create an Intel(R) TXT policy list SYNOPSIS
lcp_crtpollist COMMAND [OPTION] DESCRIPTION
lcp_crtpollist is used to create an Intel(R) TXT policy list. OPTIONS
--create Create an TXT policy list. The following options are available: --out file policy list file [--ver version] version [file]... policy element files --sigh Sign an TXT policy list. --pub key-file PEM file of public key --out file policy list file [--priv key-file] PEM file of private key [--rev rev-ctr] revocation counter value [--nosig] don't add SigBlock --addsig --sig file file containing signature (big-endian) --out file policy list file --show file policy list file --help Print out the help message. --verbose Enable verbose output; can be specified with any command. EXAMPLES
Create policy list: Assuming there have been two element file mle.elt and pconf.elt generated by lcp_crtpolelt(8) The following example can create an unsigned policy list: lcp_crtpollist --create --out list-unsig.lst mle.elt pconf.elt Sign policy list: Unsigned policy list can be signed by the command lcp_crtpollist(8) or openssl(1). The openssl(1) signing is supported for cases where the signing environment is separate from the policy creation environment and the software allowed to run there is strictly controlled and already supports openssl(1). The following example uses openssl(1) to sign the list: 1 openssl rsa -pubout -in privkey.pem -out pubkey.pem 2 cp list-unsig.lst list-sig.lst 3 lcp_crtpollist --sigh --pub pubkey.pem --nosig --out list-sig.lst 4 openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048 5 openssl dgst -sha1 -sign privkey.pem -out list.sig list-sig.lst 6 lcp_crtpollist --addsig --sig list.sig --out list-sig.lst lcp_crtpollist can also be used to sigh a policy list. The following example are intended to be mutually exclusive with the preceding exam- ple. 1 openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048 2 openssl rsa -pubout -in privkey.pem -out pubkey.pem 3 cp list-unsig.lst list-sig.lst 4 lcp_crtpollist --sign --pub pubkey.pem --priv privkey.pem --out list-sig.lst SEE ALSO
lcp_crtpol2(8), lcp_crtpolelt(8), lcp_crtpollist(8), openssl(1). tboot 2011-12-31 LCP_CRTPOLLIST(8)
