So now I can not figure out how to return a value from within this SSH block. So as in the above discussion I can pass parameters from my local machine to the commands running on a remote machine...

Thank you for that MadeinGermany. The first way didn't work (maybe because I'm using korn shell) but the second one using /bin/sh -s $filepath $filename << 'ENDSSH' did the trick.

Thanks but these don't work. Escaping the variables with a backslash does nothing - tried in double quotes also as in \"$var" and either way they are still blank in the SSH block. If I just say

I have googled this and found many solutions, but none of them are working for me. I am in a korn shell, most others reference bsh, maybe that is the issue? Anyway, all I am trying to do is use a...

Thank You Corona688. That's exactly what I was looking for. Works fine now.

I am reading in a file in a Korn shell script. The file has one header row followed by possibly millions of data rows. I want to do one thing to the header row and write it out to a new output file,...

Thanks. Works perfectly. Took me about half an hour looking at AWK tutorials to figure out why, but I think I have it figured out now.

I have a file with two fields in it delimited by a comma. Some of the first fields are duplicates. I am trying to eliminate any duplicate records in the first field, and combine the second fields in...

Thanks for your help.

These seems ridiculously simple but I can't get it to work. Using korn shell and I want to pass in a flag to tell my echo statements to either write to the screen for debugging or a file if not. So I...

How do I keep a file pattern from evaluating?

I want to pass in a file pattern to a script as a parameter, and then use that pattern in subsequent statements, but I can't get the pattern to not...

A very simple question but I have scoured the web and can't find an answer. How do I search for a character by ASCII code in a regular expression using grep?

For example, we use the End of Medium...

I can't get this to work. Running a single command works fine:
find . -name "*.dat" -exec wc -l '{}' \;

gives me the file name and number of lines in each .dat file in the directory.

But...

Tested now... and it works.

Thanks for the quick (and correct) response.
