Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Sending awk variables into curl in a bash script Post 302955404 by Don Cragun on Thursday 17th of September 2015 05:43:30 AM

It looks like Aia guessed correctly by ignoring the last dollar-sign in your original post:
Code:
curl -L http://webpage/${yr}/${mo}/track${yr}${mo}${da}${ho}${mi}$_infos.html

When the shell processes $_infos.html, it treats _infos as a variable name, and, if it is unset, expands $_infos.html to the string .html; not to the string _infos.html.

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color set_color - set the terminal color Synopsis set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR] Description Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple, cyan, white and normal. o -b, --background Set the background color o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names o -h, --help Display help message and exit o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode o -u, --underline Set underlined mode o -v, --version Display version and exit Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal. Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color. Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator. set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue. Version 1.23.1 Sun Jan 8 2012 set_color(1)
