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].

caca-config(1)						      General Commands Manual						    caca-config(1)

NAME
caca-config - script to get information about the installed version of libcaca SYNOPSIS
caca-config [ --prefix= DIR] [ --exec-prefix= DIR] [ --version ] [ --libs ] [ --cflags ] DESCRIPTION
caca-config is a tool that is used to configure and determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link progams, libraries, and plugins that use libcaca. The use of caca-config is deprecated. The more generic tool pkg-config should be used instead. OPTIONS
--cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program or library that uses libcaca. --exec-prefix=DIR If specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that libcaca was build with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any of the --cflags and --libs options. --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program or library that uses libcaca. --prefix=DIR If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that libcaca was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified before any of the --cflags and --libs options. --version Prints the currently installed version of libcaca on standard output. EXAMPLES
gcc -o main.o $(caca-config --cflags) -c main.c is how you might use caca-config to compile a C source file for an executable program. gcc -o my_app $(caca-config --libs) main.o util.o is how you might use caca-config to link compiled objects into an executable program. SEE ALSO
pkg-config(1) AUTHOR
The libcaca library was written by Sam Hocevar <sam@hocevar.net>. This manual page was written for sdl-config by Branden Robinson, originally for Progeny Linux Systems, Inc., and the Debian Project. It was adapted to libcaca by Sam Hocevar. libcaca 2003-11-22 caca-config(1)
