Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Pass config file to bash script Post 303042735 by cmccabe on Sunday 5th of January 2020 08:53:47 AM

The first parameter starting the script is config, there are two possible choices depending on the data type so I am going to pass it as an argument. Thank you Smilie.

Code:
config=$1

set -- $config
echo -e "$@"

but this echos the path to config, I need each line in the config avaliable to the script to use. Do I need to source config? Thank you.

I think this will work:
Code:
config=$1

set -- $config
echo -e "$@"
while read line; do
  echo "$line" >script.sh
done <"$config"

I think now each line in config can be used in [/ICODE]script.sh[/ICODE].

DH_INSTALLDEBCONF(1)                                                 Debhelper                                                DH_INSTALLDEBCONF(1)

NAME
dh_installdebconf - install files used by debconf in package build directories SYNOPSIS
dh_installdebconf [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--params] DESCRIPTION
dh_installdebconf is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files used by debconf into package build directories. It also automatically generates the postrm commands needed to interface with debconf. The commands are added to the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how that works. Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs to depend on it (it will be added to ${misc:Depends} by this program). Note that for your config script to be called by dpkg, your postinst needs to source debconf's confmodule. dh_installdebconf does not install this statement into the postinst automatically as it is too hard to do it right. FILES
debian/package.config This is the debconf config script, and is installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory. Inside the script, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands. debian/package.templates This is the debconf templates file, and is installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory. debian/po/ If this directory is present, this program will automatically use po2debconf(1) to generate merged templates files that include the translations from there. For this to work, your package should build-depend on po-debconf. OPTIONS
-n, --no-scripts Do not modify postrm script. -- params Pass the params to po2debconf. SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
