Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Using SED to generate new file from template Post 302337896 by ppucci on Sunday 26th of July 2009 07:56:10 AM

I've read somewhere about this "w" option on writing the output to a different file than input, but I guess I read it wrong or not sure how to use it...

Anyway, I went back to redirect using > and it worked!

Just for the record... the template files are templates with placeholder for Cisco router config files, like:

Code:
!configlet for HNAME (IP_ADD)
conf t
interface INT
 ip address IP_ADD mask MASK
end

And the source CSV file contains the hostname, interface number, IP addresses and subnet masks for each of the 1000+ devices I needed to create a configuration file... Smilie CSV also had the device type for each device (using the same types as TEMPLATE) and a FILENAM for each device so the script would write a different file for each device.

As I had many different templates, I also improved the code to save them on different folders according to the type.

I'll post latter the final script Smilie

Thank you for your reply!

NAME
debconf-mergetemplate - merge together multiple debconf template files SYNOPSIS
debconf-mergetemplate [options] [templates.ll ...] templates DESCRIPTION
Note: This utility is deprecated. You should switch to using po-debconf's po2debconf program. This program is useful if you have multiple debconf templates files which you want to merge together into one big file. All the specified files will be read in, merged, and output to standard output. This can be especially useful if you are dealing with translated template files. In this case, you might have your main template file, plus several other files provided by the translators. These files will have translated fields in them, and maybe the translators left in the english versions of the fields they translated, for their reference. So, you want to merge together all the translated templates files with your main templates file. Any fields that are unique to the translated files need to be added in to the correct templates, but any fields they have in common should be superseded by the fields in the main file (which might be more up-to-date). This program handles that case properly, just list each of the translated templates files, and then your main templates file last. OPTIONS
--outdated Merge in even outdated translations. The default is to drop them with a warning message. --drop-old-templates If a translation has an entire template that is not in the master file (and thus is probably an old template), drop that entire template. SEE ALSO
