If above is the script, then how do I put if conditions. i.e. If $input = '*****' do something.
First off, you don't need any if-contructions. You should quote your variables regardless of them containing something which has to be quoted or not, because even if said variables normally don't have a content which has to be quoted they might do so occasionally and a script shouldn't work "most of the times", but always.
In programming caution sometimes helps but never hurts, so be as cautious as possible.
Secondly, you shouldn't use the backticks any more: they are supported only for backwards compatibility purposes. Use the "$(...)" instead:
Thirdly, the command only fills a variable with some content - in this case some asterisks. No shell expansion is done here. It is probably done when you subsequently try to display the variables contents. THIS is the place where you have to protect your variable from being expanded by the shell:
Code:
input="$(head -1 /tmp/tuxob.lst | awk '{print $NF}')"
echo $input # will be expanded
echo "$input" # will not be expanded
Btw.: if the only thing you want to do is to display it, you don't even need the variable:
Code:
echo "$(head -1 /tmp/tuxob.lst | awk '{print $NF}')" # will not be expanded
echo $(head -1 /tmp/tuxob.lst | awk '{print $NF}') # will be expanded
I am writing a menu script and one of the options is to access a Command Prompt and return to the menu via CTRL-D. I have tried using a loop and echoing the PS1 value, then using read to assign whatever is entered into a variable, then executing the value of that variable as a command using

Hey all,
Just wanted to get some input on a script I am using to import files into a MySQL database.
The process is pretty simple: my main server exports these files and FTPs them. I have a script that FTPs them to the machine running that runs this script. The FTP script runs without issue... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I have an awk script which performs simple operations of variable assignments and finally printing the variables in custom form.
BEGIN {FS=OFS="\n"}

v2=substr($0,16,200)
v3=substr($0,216,20)
print v1 "|" v2 "|" v3
}
The input file being processed... (2 Replies)

Gurus,
I have written a shell script to backup a database and applications. This is how the script works:
1. As applications user (say applmgr), the main backup script, say backup.sh, is kicked off.
2. backup.sh does ssh to oracle user and kicks off the database backup using nohup and... (1 Reply)

I notice that su - user (note with dash) brings in more of the user's environment than does su - user -c 'command'. For example, if root does an su - user, and types "umask" to the prompt, one umask is displayed; yet, if instead the command is su - user -c 'umask', the value is different. I thought... (2 Replies)
Hello all,
Here is what my bash script does: sums number columns, saves the tot in new column, outputs if tot >= threshold val:

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam;
$lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
$code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa'
@codes = all_langfam_codes();
@names = all_langfam_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in
ISO 639-5.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5
language family codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
constant that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
$lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);
The codesets currently supported are:
alpha
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages.
This is the default code set.
ROUTINES
code2langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
langfam2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
langfam_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
all_langfam_codes ( [CODESET] )
all_langfam_names ( [CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_alias ( NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )
These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
