sed unterminated `s' command?
Hi there,
I'm pretty new to this whole scripting thing. I've written myself something which takes my txt file of SMSes (the backup from the phone), and puts them into an email format, saving them as .eml files. I've tested and uploaded a batch to gmail, but because of threading issues, I've decided that I need to individualise the subject lines so that they display better. For reference, here's the code..
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
sed -i 's/^$/newlinenewlinenewline \n /g' test2.txt #marks where breaks originally occured
#editing From/To headers below
sed -i 's/3538|+3538/08/g' test2.txt ##standardises number format from +3538/3538 to 08....
sed -i 's/From: My Phone/From: ###/g' test2.txt #makes default "me" sender my number
sed -i 's/To: My Phone/To: ####/g' test2.txt #""
sed -i 's/+3538/08/g' test2.txt
sed -i 's/3538/08/g' test2.txt
sed -i 's/From: 08/From: <08/g' test2.txt #adds the "<" character to the address string
sed -i 's/To: 08/To: <08/g' test2.txt #adds the "<" character to the address string
sed -i '/From:/s|$|>|' test2.txt #adds the last ">" to the address string
sed -i '/To:/s|$|>|' test2.txt #adds the last ">" to the address string
#editing Date headers
sed -i 's/Received:.*\09//g' test2.txt
sed -i 's/Received:.*\0//g' test2.txt
sed -i 's/Sent: /Subject: SMS \nDate: /g' test2.txt
sed -i '/^$/d' test2.txt #deletes blank lines from previous removal of dates
sed -i 's/Text:/MIME-Version: 1.0 \nContent-Type: multipart\/alternative; \n boundary="----=_NextPart_000_000C_01CAE890.FD6A3090" \nX-Priority: 3 \nX-MSMail-Priority: Normal \nX-Unsent: 1 \nX-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.5579 \n \nThis is a multi-part message in MIME format. \n \n------=_NextPart_000_000C_01CAE890.FD6A3090 \nContent-Type: text\/plain; \n charset="iso-8859-1" \nContent-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable \n \n------=_NextPart_000_000C_01CAE890.FD6A3090 \nContent-Type: text\/html; \n charset="iso-8859-1" \nContent-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable \n \n<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN"> \n<HTML><HEAD> \n<META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text\/html; = \ncharset=3Diso-8859-1"> \n<META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2900.5945" name=3DGENERATOR> \n<STYLE><\/STYLE> \n<\/HEAD> \n<BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> \n<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>/g' test2.txt
sed -i 's/newlinenewlinenewline/<\/FONT><\/DIV><\/BODY><\/HTML>\n \n------=_NextPart_000_000C_01CAE890.FD6A3090--/g' test2.txt #returns breaks
sed -i 's/[ \t]*$//' test2.txt #removes whitespace, email errors otherwise.
awk '/From: /{n++}{print >"out" n ".eml" }' test2.txt #creates .eml files
My problem is such - I've added the following three lines to the code, and now I'm getting an "unterminated `s' command" no matter what I try...
Basically what I want to do is to take the 1st line of the .eml file, (the from: line), and the second line of the file (the to: line) and add them into the subject: line to individualise each one.
The code I tried was
Quote:
from1=$(head -n1 *eml)
to1=$(sed -n '2p' *eml)
sed -i "s/SMS/SMS $from to $to/g" *eml
But I can't see where I've gone wrong? Any ideas?
