Hi,
I would like to create an IF statement where if a variable is equal to at least one of 2 (or more) values then the script proceeds. For example:
TEST_VAR=2
if ; then
echo success!
else
echo failure
fi
I understand that the above syntax is wrong but I feel it must be close. Any... (1 Reply)
#!/usr/bin/perl
$output1 = "/home/log.txt"
$output2 = "/home/grep.txt"
#Statement1 creates an output file called log.txt.
#Statement2 greps a line from log.txt and store the result in grep.txt
I want to create a condition where if the file grep.txt is empty repeat process.
Thanks. (1 Reply)

escape
escape(1) Mail Avenger 0.8.3 escape(1)NAME
escape - escape shell special characters in a string
SYNOPSIS
escape string
DESCRIPTION
escape prepends a "" character to all shell special characters in string, making it safe to compose a shell command with the result.
EXAMPLES
The following is a contrived example showing how one can unintentionally end up executing the contents of a string:
$ var='; echo gotcha!'
$ eval echo hi $var
hi
gotcha!
$
Using escape, one can avoid executing the contents of $var:
$ eval echo hi `escape "$var"`
hi ; echo gotcha!
$
A less contrived example is passing arguments to Mail Avenger bodytest commands containing possibly unsafe environment variables. For
example, you might write a hypothetical reject_bcc script to reject mail not explicitly addressed to the recipient:
#!/bin/sh
formail -x to -x cc -x resent-to -x resent-cc
| fgrep "$1" > /dev/null
&& exit 0
echo "<$1>.. address does not accept blind carbon copies"
exit 100
To invoke this script, passing it the recipient address as an argument, you would need to put the following in your Mail Avenger rcpt
script:
bodytest reject_bcc `escape "$RECIPIENT"`

BUGS
escape is designed for the Bourne shell, which is what Mail Avenger scripts use. escape might or might not work with other shells.
