Passing variables to an input file
Hi All,
I have to insert 2 values to a text file in specific places. I have been able to extract each variable value via a script but am not able to send these variable values to the text file.
Pasted is the script for extracting the variable values:
for i in `ls -1`
do
s=`awk 'END{print NR}' $i`
dur=`awk '{s+=substr($0,85,9)}END{printf "%09d\n", s } ' $i`
length=`printf "%036d %s" $s`
echo -en $length"\t\t$dur""\n"
done
After getting the values, I need to insert them into the text file pasted below mantaining the space length between the strings:
$length $dur 130219235419 00000000 00000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 000000000 0000000000 000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0
Any idea how we can do it. Any help is appreciated a lot

Hi,
I'm using a for loop reading from an input file that contains files, whose path includes a variable name.
But the for loop doesn't expand the variable and therefore can't find the file.
Here's an example:

Hi,
I would like to compare 2 files using awk, which I can do by using:
awk 'NR==FNR{a;next} (NR > 32 && $2 in a) {print $0}' File1 and File2.
If the name of the File1 is in another file (for example, column 4 in File 3) then how can I pass this column 4 to the awk command.
Thanks in... (1 Reply)

MAKESH(1) General Commands Manual MAKESH(1)
NAME
makeSH - a .SH script maker
SYNOPSIS
makeSH files
DESCRIPTION
MakeSH examines one or more scripts and produces a .SH file that, when run under sh, will produce the original script. The .SH script so
produced has two sections containing code destined for the output. The first section has variable substitutions performed on it (taking
values from config.sh), while the second section does not. MakeSH does not know which variables you want to have substituted, so it puts
the whole script into the second section. It's up to you to insert any variable substitutions in the first section for any values you want
from config.sh.
You should run makeSH from within your top-level directory and use the relative path to the file as an argument, so that the "Extracting
..." line printed while running the produced .SH file later on will give that same path.

BUGS
It could assume that variables from metaconfig's Glossary need to be initialized in the first section, but I'm too lazy to make it do that.
