I created both .txt files using VI and yes, the search works perfectly fine if I enter the adgroup manually.
I created a new script in an attempt to isolate the problem area and have discovered that the "while read..." portion of the script seems to be causing the issue. If I take it out and modify the script slightly to build a portion of my ldapsearch string as shown below, I get good results in my input.txt file.
It seems that maybe I'm using "while read" incorrectly as it cannot read and set my adgroup variable in a way that any function within the while read loop can interprate it.
I am new to the UNIX environment, but not to programming. My intention is to create a 2D array and print it. Since the Korn Shell does not support that kind of variable, the following is my solution right now.
I have created a group of variables as follows:
table00
table01
table02

Hello.
I have a question about how the PATH environment variable works.
I wrote a script in $HOME/bin/gvim.
I want it to be called instead of /usr/bin/gvim,
so I've placed it before in the PATH.
However, it is still the old one that is found.
If I open an other terminal, I have the... (6 Replies)

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.
