Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Help cannot concatenate Ksh variables ? Post 302601008 by methyl on Wednesday 22nd of February 2012 04:52:07 PM

Okay we've got past one very common scripting problem ("for" vs "while").

Back to the Microsoft text file format problem in your data files (imho).
I believe that your display format is all over the place because the input data contains carriage-return characters (or some other weird control codes which do not belong in a unix text file) and you have in places deleted line-feed characters (the standard unix text file line terminator). Therefore I believe that what you are seeing on the screen is only part of the output from your script because the screen driver is actioning these rogue control codes.

Back to an earlier request. We need to see a sample .svn/entries file displayed in a manner where we can see control codes:
For example:
Code:
sed -n l .svn/entries

Also, please post the current version of the script. I can't see anything in the most recent version posted which writes to a file (unless you are referring to a saved file from "script").


We'll come back to the code at the bottom of post #24 if necessary, but I for one can't follow it!
