shell script problem
Hey there,
I`m a beginner so don`t be brutall with me if it`s a stupid or easy question.
I need to make a script that
1) reads from a text file with this pattern:
Quote:
first.c #define var 1 #define other_var 2 ... #define another_var
sedond.c #define a_var 1 #define another_var 2 ... #define variable n
.
.
.
2) and i need it to insert the #defines in the .c files
Problem is, that i`m working in a batch file,from within Windows, but with cygwin installed(so i have most of the UNIX commands, including SED), but i can`t insert "while" or "for" loops.
So, any ideas how to do this without those loops?
I really would appreciat the help

escape
escape(1) Mail Avenger 0.8.3 escape(1)
NAME
escape - escape shell special characters in a string
SYNOPSIS
escape string
DESCRIPTION
escape prepends a "" character to all shell special characters in string, making it safe to compose a shell command with the result.
EXAMPLES
The following is a contrived example showing how one can unintentionally end up executing the contents of a string:
$ var='; echo gotcha!'
$ eval echo hi $var
hi
gotcha!
$
Using escape, one can avoid executing the contents of $var:
$ eval echo hi `escape "$var"`
hi ; echo gotcha!
$
A less contrived example is passing arguments to Mail Avenger bodytest commands containing possibly unsafe environment variables. For
example, you might write a hypothetical reject_bcc script to reject mail not explicitly addressed to the recipient:
#!/bin/sh
formail -x to -x cc -x resent-to -x resent-cc
| fgrep "$1" > /dev/null
&& exit 0
echo "<$1>.. address does not accept blind carbon copies"
exit 100
To invoke this script, passing it the recipient address as an argument, you would need to put the following in your Mail Avenger rcpt
script:
bodytest reject_bcc `escape "$RECIPIENT"`

BUGS
escape is designed for the Bourne shell, which is what Mail Avenger scripts use. escape might or might not work with other shells.
