Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Read 2 lines from File, Run Command based off output Post 302673229 by UCCCC on Tuesday 17th of July 2012 05:03:14 PM

Thanks for the post Bartus. When I run this, it says

./filescript.sh: line 2: [: -gt: unary operator expected

So before re-posting I tried to find the answer via Google again. No luck. But I have identified it does not seem to be getting variables for a and b. If I do an echo of these, I am getting null (or a space, can't tell).

The current output of

Code:
 tail -2 http.txt | tr "\\n" " "

Is showing as: "48 36 "
Without the quotes of course. So it seems like it may not be properly removing the spaces perhaps? Not sure.

Thanks again

Mail::ListDetector::Detector::GoogleGroups(3pm) 	User Contributed Perl Documentation	   Mail::ListDetector::Detector::GoogleGroups(3pm)

NAME

       Mail::ListDetector::Detector::GoogleGroups - Google Groups message detector

SYNOPSIS

	 use Mail::ListDetector::Detector::GoogleGroups;

DESCRIPTION

       An implementation of a mailing list detector, for Google Groups mailing lists, See http://groups-beta.google.com for information about
       Google Groups

       Google Groups mailing list messages are RFC2919 compliant but this module provides more information.

METHODS

   new()
       Inherited from Mail::ListDetector::Detector::Base.

   match()
       Accepts a Mail::Internet object and returns either a Mail::ListDetector::List object if it is a post to a Google Groups mailing list, or
       "undef".

       Mail::ListDetector::Detector::RFC2919 is used to extract the information about the list, we just munge it so we know it is a Google Groups
       list.

BUGS

       No known bugs.
