ksh String Manipulation - removing variables from within a variable
Hi. I'd like to remove all values in a string variable that also exist in a second variable. What is the appropriate approach to take here? I can use a 'For' loop and check each element and then populate a new string. But is there a cleaner, simpler way?
E.g. I have the following 2 variables
Code:
NAMES="John Paul George Ringo"
EXCLUDE_NAME="Ringo"
What would be the simplest way to update $NAMES so that all $EXCLUDE_NAME members have been removed?
This works but there must be better way:
Code:
for X in ${NAMES} ; do
if [[ ! "$EXCLUDE_NAME" =~ "$X" ]]; then
NEW_NAMES="$NEW_NAMES $X"
fi
done
I have a variable which consists of a string like this:
001 aaabc 44 a bbb12
How do I extract each substring, delimited by the spaces, into new variables - one for each substring?
eg var1 will be 001, var2 will be aaabc, var3 will be 44, var4 will be a, etc?

I have a UNIX shell where:
LEVEL=dev
SITE=here
and WHEREIAM=/tmp/$SITE/location/$LEVEL
I want to echo $WHEREIAM in such a way that I get it back with all the environment variables resolved (/tmp/here/location/dev).
This command will be used in a shell script. (5 Replies)
Hi all,
I'm trying to extract the name of a script that is being run with a full path. i.e.
if the script name is /some/where/path/script_name.ksh
I'd like to extract only: script_name
i know that it is possible to do so in two phases:
echo "${0##*/}" will give me script_name.ksh

In a bash script I've set a variable that is the directory name of where an executable lives.
the_dir=`dirname $which myscript`
which equates to something like "/path/to/dir/bin"
I need to cut that down to remove the "bin" so I now have "/path/to/dir/".
This sounds easy but as a... (2 Replies)
Hello,
I have a paramter $param consisting just of two literals and want to split it into two parameters, so I can combine it to a new parameter <char1><string><char2>, but the following code didn't work:

Hi All,
I am facing a problem and I am not able to solve it.
I have already searched google, but nothing (maybe I am not using the correct key words).

Hi,
I need to convert string "(joe.smith" into "joe_smith"

Hi all,
I have used a bash script which ultimately converts a string into date using date --date option:
DATE=$DATE" "$TIME" "`date +%Y` //concatenating 2 strings
TMRW_DATE=`date --date="$DATE" +"%s"` //applying date command on string and getting the unixtime
Please use code tags... (7 Replies)
Hi, I have a variable with grep output like this:
WORDS=$(grep -r -c -i -E "palindrom" /"$DIRECTORY"/)
so "echo "$WORDS"" could be:

//directory/file3.txt:3
//directory/file4.txt:1

io::async::timer::absolute
IO::Async::Timer::Absolute(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Async::Timer::Absolute(3pm)NAME
"IO::Async::Timer::Absolute" - event callback at a fixed future time
SYNOPSIS
use IO::Async::Timer::Absolute;
use POSIX qw( mktime );
use IO::Async::Loop;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
my @time = gmtime;
my $timer = IO::Async::Timer::Absolute->new(
time => mktime( 0, 0, 0, $time[4]+1, $time[5], $time[6] ),
on_expire => sub {
print "It's midnight
";
$loop->stop;
},
);
$loop->add( $timer );
$loop->run;
DESCRIPTION
This subclass of IO::Async::Timer implements one-shot events at a fixed time in the future. The object waits for a given timestamp, and
invokes its callback at that point in the future.
For a "Timer" object that waits for a delay relative to the time it is started, see instead IO::Async::Timer::Countdown.
EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters:
on_expire
Invoked when the timer expires.
PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":
on_expire => CODE
CODE reference for the "on_expire" event.
time => NUM
The epoch time at which the timer will expire.
Once constructed, the timer object will need to be added to the "Loop" before it will work.
Unlike other timers, it does not make sense to "start" this object, because its expiry time is absolute, and not relative to the time it is
started.
