Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Shell - Read a text file with two words and extract data Post 302983626 by Scrutinizer on Friday 14th of October 2016 04:02:47 AM

Hi, try using arrays:
Code:
while IFS=', ' read -a F
do
  printf "%s\n" "${F[@]}"
done <  newtest2.txt > output.txt

But there is another issue:
There are fields that contain spaces, so the IFS value will not work properly.

So try this instead:
Code:
while IFS=, read -a F
do
  printf "%s\n" "${F[@]# }"
done < newtest2.txt > output.txt

Here the IFS is set to a single comma and a spurious leading space gets cut off through parameter expansion (# )

gresource

GRESOURCE(1)							   User Commands						      GRESOURCE(1)

NAME

       gresource - GResource tool

SYNOPSIS

       gresource [--section SECTION] list FILE [PATH]

       gresource [--section SECTION] details FILE [PATH]

       gresource [--section SECTION] extract FILE PATH

       gresource sections FILE

       gresource help [COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION

       gresource offers a simple commandline interface to GResource. It lets you list and extract resources that have been compiled into a
       resource file or included in an elf file (a binary or a shared library).

       The file to operate on is specified by the FILE argument.

       If an elf file includes multiple sections with resources, it is possible to select which one to operate on with the --section option. Use
       the sections command to find available sections.

COMMANDS

       list
	   Lists resources. If SECTION is given, only list resourcs in this section. If PATH is given, only list matching resources.

       details
	   Lists resources with details. If SECTION is given, only list resources in this section. If PATH is given, only list matching resources.
	   Details include the section, size and compression of each resource.

       extract
	   Extracts the resource named by PATH to stdout. Note that resources may contain binary data.

       sections
	   Lists sections containing resources. This is only interesting if FILE is an elf file.

       help
	   Prints help and exits.
