In a bash script, I'm looking for a way to set each matching line of a file into its own variable, or variable array.

As an example, i have a crontab file with several entries:

00 23 * * *...

Excellent, Thank You.

Can you guys recommend a good book with good examples?

The one I have doesn't have the greatest examples.

Ok, that makes sense.
So how about I add to that?
I was trying to do:
/X[0-9]/

But I'm not sure how to add an expression to the $0 ~ X

I have a simple script and I'm tring to pass a shell variable to awk.
Something like:

awk -v X=$vname '/X/ {print $4}' filename

However that doesn't seem to work.

awk -v X=$vname '{print...

Thats the exact code with in a script. It doesn't matter if he code is executed from the command line or with in a script.

sfdisk -uM /dev/sdb >/dev/null 2>&1 <<EOF
,,L,*
EOF

I have a script on Linux that is using sfdisk to partition a usb drive.

I'm trying to redirectory the standard out and standard error which works, however, there is still messages being diplayed....

thats awesome, thanks to the both of you :)

How about excluding 'root' from the output?

Hi,
I'd like to have a script what takes the 'who' output and grabs the user names and outputs just the user name, and no duplicates.

I know I could do something like:

who | awk '{print $1}'...

Is it possible to split the screen and show, lets say a local directory listing on the left and a remote directory listing on the right with shell scripting?

I know it's usually done with...

Was the new hard disk the same interface and size?

You might want to try something like Lone-Tar /Rescue-Ranger to clone the disk.

I let the fsck continue, answering 'y' to everything.
When it was finished I was able to mount the filesystem as ext2 and all data was still there.

I've tried that and here is what happens:

# fsck.ext3 -b 32768 /dev/sdb
Superblock has an invalid ext3 journal (inode 8).
Clear<y>?

I thought that command would update the superblock with a...

Is there a way to recover or rebuild the superblock of an ext3 filesystem with out loosing data?

Thanks

One simple example:

while read line
do
do what you want here with $line
done < filename

I see, I was trying to type fast and missed the increment line...

Something I didn't realize though is "not quoting" if the variable is suppose to be an integer.

I usually typeset the variables...

You will need to either manually load a tape via the control panel or use a utility such as 'mtx' to load a tape.

Then use tar to list or restore the tape.
ie: # tar tvf /dev/rmt/0

What OS?

How was the tape created? tar, cpio, 3rd party utility?

Is there a command line flag to lpr or a utility similar to the Unix 'xtod' command to fix stair stepping when printing?

Under Unix I would:

# cat textfile | xtod | lp -d lineprinter

Heres something like what I have in a shell script:

. /data.file
anum="0"
while [ ! -z "${sg_name[${anum}]}" ]
do
echo "sg_name[${anum}]}"
echo "sg_size[${anum}]}"
echo...

I'm familiar with using the '-v' flag to set variables.

But I was wondering if it was possible to keep the same array structure in awk as it is in the shell.

I take it awk can not source that...

I have a bash shell script that sources a data file, the data file has array values such as:

#--data file ---#
sg_name[0]="db1"
sg_size[0]="12892"
sg_allow[0]="50000"

sg_name[1]="db2"...

Ok ok, I got it now. I think my brain is a little slow today...being Friday and all :)

Thanks for the explaination, once again much appreciated.
