Ok, don't ask me why, but all calls to perl must be called by a shell script. Its really not ideal, but its what I have to work with.
Calling it isnt the issue, its passing in the arguments.
I have about 1000 perl scripts to call by a shell script. Right now, I'm executing the shell script and bringing in the entire perl script and its arguments as one string to be executed.
The shell script is simply
However, when I call a perl script with its arguments, its fails many times because of the way the shell script is resolving the passed arguments. For example. Here's the shell script (callperl.sh) executing a perl script:
When it gets executed by the shell script, the parameter of "/tmp/last/done*.txt" gets resolved as all the files that matches the regex. This caused the perl script to failed because its exepecting the argument "tmp/last/done*.txt" and not a list of files. The
I've tried to encapsulate the arguments in various double quotes, tick marks, single quotes, etc. but cannot get the proper results.
I'd like to have a single shell script that could call a perl scripts with any number of arguments, but have it resolve the arguments correctly because the number of arguments varies greatly. Not only that, but there are over 1000 perl scripts that need to be called this way. Is there a simple way to do this? What am I missing?
$*
All of the positional parameters, seen as a single word
Note
"$*" must be quoted.
$@
Same as $*, but each parameter is a quoted string, that is, the parameters are passed on intact, without interpretation or expansion. This means, among other things, that each parameter in the argument list is seen as a separate word.
I'm trying to create a shell script that takes a awk script that I wrote and a filename as an argument. I was able to get that done but I'm having trouble figuring out how to keep the header of the output at the top but sort the rest of the rows alphabetically. This is what I have now but it is...
