Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Bash to append array value to file before copying Post 303039917 by cmccabe on Thursday 17th of October 2019 11:50:13 AM

So if I understand and am reading the error correctly the * is not expanding on the remote machine? I think this because tee looks good but the terminal doesn't like the *. I am testing this on ubuntu but will use it on centos. Thank you Smilie.


Code:
for ID in "${array[@]}" ; do
      echo "( cd /path/to/${ID}*/*/folder && exec sshpass -f file.txt scp xxx@xxx.xx.xx.xxx:path/to/destination/${ID}-cn_results.png )"
done | tee /tmp/tmp.txt | sshpass -f out.txt ssh -o strictHostKeyChecking=no -t xxxx@xxx.xx.xxx.xx

terminal output
Code:
-bash: line 1: cd: /path/to/ID1*/*/folder: No such file or directory
-bash: line 2: cd: /path/to/ID2*/*/folder: No such file or directory

tee ouput in tmp.txt
Code:
( cd /path/to/ID1*/*/folder && exec sshpass -f file.txt scp xxx@xxx.xx.xx.xxx:path/to/destination/ID1-cn_results.png )
( cd /path/to/ID2*/*/folder && exec sshpass -f file.txt scp xxx@xxx.xx.xx.xxx:path/to/destination/ID2-cn_results.png )

NAME
guards - select from a list of files guarded by conditions SYNOPSIS
guards [--prefix=dir] [--path=dir2:dir2:...] [--default=0|1] [-v|--invert-match] [--list|--check] [--config=file] symbol ... DESCRIPTION
The script reads a configuration file that may contain so-called guards, file names, and comments, and writes those file names that satisfy all guards to standard output. The script takes a list of symbols as its arguments. Each line in the configuration file is processed separately. Lines may start with a number of guards. The following guards are defined: +xxx Include the file(s) on this line if the symbol xxx is defined. -xxx Exclude the file(s) on this line if the symbol xxx is defined. +!xxx Include the file(s) on this line if the symbol xxx is not defined. -!xxx Exclude the file(s) on this line if the symbol xxx is not defined. - Exclude this file. Used to avoid spurious --check messages. The guards are processed left to right. The last guard that matches determines if the file is included. If no guard is specified, the --default setting determines if the file is included. If no configuration file is specified, the script reads from standard input. The --check option is used to compare the specification file against the file system. If files are referenced in the specification that do not exist, or if files are not enlisted in the specification file warnings are printed. The --path option can be used to specify which directory or directories to scan. Multiple directories are separated by a colon (":") character. The --prefix option specifies the location of the files. AUTHOR
