Small UNIX problem
I have a shell script that carries out an extraction process as follows:
For a given input file dummy which looks like the following:
a.txt
a 1
a 2
xnzbcnzbxcbzxncbmnzxbcmzx
546
456
45
5
6
56
a 3
b.txt
b1
b2
b3
the shell script returns two files called a.txt and b.txt followed by their corresponding content.
a.txt would contain the following content:
a 1
a 2
xnzbcnzbxcbzxncbmnzxbcmzx
546
456
45
5
6
56
and b.txt would contain the following content:
b1
b2
b3
the problem is when i run the script where the first line of dummy is not x.txt i get errors.
Example if dummy contained
asdasda
fg
grtjiogoirjtgdjkljdfslkjdf
a.txt
qwe
ert
tyu
then when i run the script i get the following ouput:
./extracter: line 8: $FILENAME: ambiguous redirect
./extracter: line 8: $FILENAME: ambiguous redirect
./extracter: line 8: $FILENAME: ambiguous redirect
but it still produces a.txt
Here is the script:
cat dummy |while read LINE
do
if [ "`echo ${LINE} |grep '.txt'$`" != "" ] ; then
FILENAME=${LINE}
continue
fi
echo $LINE >> $FILENAME
done
does anyone know how i can fix the problem.
thanks

git-sh-i18n
GIT-SH-I18N(1) Git Manual GIT-SH-I18N(1)
NAME
git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts
SYNOPSIS
. "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"
DESCRIPTION
This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish
scripts and/or are writing new ones.
The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell script. It provides
wrappers for the GNU gettext and eval_gettext functions accessible through the gettext.sh script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on
systems without GNU gettext.
FUNCTIONS
gettext
Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1). Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in
a later version.
eval_gettext
Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1) with variables expanded by the git-sh-
i18n--envsubst(1) helper. Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in a later version.
GIT
Part of the git(1) suite
