Full Discussion: Need to split string on single quote as delimiter
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Need to split string on single quote as delimiter Post 303038152 by mohtashims on Tuesday 27th of August 2019 02:42:50 AM

FPATH gets the string by reading it from a file hello.txt.
Code:
input="./hello.txt"
while IFS= read -r line
do
  echo "$line"
IFS=': ' read -r ip string <<< "$line"

Below is how I tried your suggestion.

Code:
a=`echo $FPATH | tr "'" "\n" | sed "s/^ //g"`
   for i in "${a[@]}"
do
   printf '$i' >> output.txt
done

However, due to single quotes printf '$i' we get the output which is enclosed in single quotes.

If I print without single quotes i.e printf $i then the print statement fails becoz of illegal argument like "-r"
Code:
uname -a
