Full Discussion: Can I pipe stderr to another process
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Can I pipe stderr to another process Post 302414983 by chebarbudo on Wednesday 21st of April 2010 12:24:43 PM

Thanks alister for offering to help.
I thought it would be embarassing to ask for help on an entire project that's why I only posted questions on specific issues.
My whole point is to parse a config file when running my script.

The config file looks like this:
Code:
PATHS_TO_WATCH	/home/ /var/www/
LIMITED_TRANSFER_RATE	800

My current script does that:
Code:
# Read config files...
eval $(while read option value; do
	echo "$option=\"$value\""
done)
# Continue with the script...

It roughly works like this but what would happen if the config file contains either mistakes (variable name with dashes) or weird values (path with space)?
Code:
PATHS_TO_WATCH	/home/ /var/www/ "/some/path/with space"
LIMITED-TRANSFER-RATE	800

How would you do that your way?
Or maybe you know of any program that does that for us!
