i want a command that will output any one of this lines based upon the number i pass it as parameter.
eg.
$ ./script file1 2 (script being the command)
Using either of these two methods within a script would be easy, using positional parameters
Take a look at your shells manual page to learn more about positional parameters and passing arguments to scripts.
You could also implement error checking by ensuring that the file passed exists (look at the "test" or "[" builtins/commands)....
A typical line looks like this...
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin AUTO_INCREMENT=129 COMMENT='Compiled E-Mails';I want to remove DEFAULT CHARSET= and COLLATE= after resetting AUTO_INCREMENT=0
I do not want to change the engine and comment. (7 Replies)
Hi

#34 * 2297 * 410 * 964 * * 4352

Is there a way to retrieve the section of the above output without #34 so the output would look like this:... (3 Replies)

shift
shift(1) User Commands shift(1)NAME
shift - shell built-in function to traverse either a shell's argument list or a list of field-separated words
SYNOPSIS
sh
shift [n]
csh
shift [variable]
ksh
* shift [n]
DESCRIPTION
sh
The positional parameters from $n+1 ... are renamed $1 ... . If n is not given, it is assumed to be 1.
csh
The components of argv, or variable, if supplied, are shifted to the left, discarding the first component. It is an error for the variable
not to be set or to have a null value.
ksh
The positional parameters from $n+1 $n+1 ... are renamed $1 ..., default n is 1. The parameter n can be any arithmetic expression that
evaluates to a non-negative number less than or equal to $#.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
