Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I'm looking for a website, kind a like of http://www.planet-source-code.com to post source codes of shell scripts. Why all other languages on these websites but never the shell ? Anyone knows where to post my snippets or archives I want to share ?

Today I wrote a script which I think might be useful to many people. As you may know Python syntax is ruled not by {} but wit the indentation. The syntax analyser **** up all the time between the tabs and the spaces (IndentationError: unexpected indent). I wanted to leave this piece of code to anyone would need it. The error can be produced by the IDE pyDEV, the script cleans the code and cut out the errors.
Here it is:

Code:

#! /bin/bash

filename=$(echo $1 | sed 's/\([^.]*\)\..*/\1/')
cat $1 | sed 's/\t/    /g' > $filename.clean.py

to execute type ./script_name + python_script

I think they only have a limited variety of flavors, no?

BTWAFWIW, I think you could optimize your code a bit further:

Code:

filename=${1%%.*}
sed 's/\t/    /g' $filename > $filename.clean.py

Which will cut off the filename after and including the first dot
