I have the following string stored in a variable from a file
sbCvgXfsuupllsucpp11-aWa

Hi everybody,
I am trying to do the thing you see in the title, and I can't simply do
a=$(svn up)
echo $a
because the program (svn) gives output on lots of lines and in the variable the output is stored on only one line (resulting in a horribly formatted text). Any tips?
Thanks,... (2 Replies)
Hi everyone,
Ok here's the scenario.
I have a control file like this.
component1,file1,file2,file3,file4,file5
component2,file1,file2,file3,file4,file5I want to do a while loop here to read all files for each component.
file_count=2

Simple enough problem I think, I just can't seem to get it right.
The below doesn't work as intended, it's just a function defined in a much larger script:
CheckValues() {

Group_Title \
Rule_ID \

Hello guys,
This truly is a newbie question. I'm trying to make a loop to execute simultaneous commands indefinitely while using variable. Here is how my mess looks like (this is just an example):

Hi All,
I have a file which has hundred of records with fixed number of fields. In each record there is set of 8 characters which represent the duration of that activity. I want to sum up the duration present in all the records for a report. The problem is the duration changes per record so I... (5 Replies)
Hi folks,
A really dumb question as I've wasted far too long trying to get this to work.... (on RH bash)

v0='<again>'
v0='<john>'
in my code I calculate the value of the variable to output and if I echo it, I... (2 Replies)

while
while(n) Tcl Built-In Commands while(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
while - Execute script repeatedly as long as a condition is met
SYNOPSIS
while test body
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The while command evaluates test as an expression (in the same way that expr evaluates its argument). The value of the expression must a
proper boolean value; if it is a true value then body is executed by passing it to the Tcl interpreter. Once body has been executed then
test is evaluated again, and the process repeats until eventually test evaluates to a false boolean value. Continue commands may be exe-
cuted inside body to terminate the current iteration of the loop, and break commands may be executed inside body to cause immediate termi-
nation of the while command. The while command always returns an empty string.
Note: test should almost always be enclosed in braces. If not, variable substitutions will be made before the while command starts execut-
ing, which means that variable changes made by the loop body will not be considered in the expression. This is likely to result in an
infinite loop. If test is enclosed in braces, variable substitutions are delayed until the expression is evaluated (before each loop iter-
ation), so changes in the variables will be visible. For an example, try the following script with and without the braces around $x<10:
set x 0
while {$x<10} {
puts "x is $x"
incr x
}
