Help in creation of parameter file
Hi Guys,

I have a parameter file.
Sample of it as below:
Code:
Name=unix
Country=United States

I want the output as follows
Code:
-param Name=unix -param Country='United States'

I am able to achieve appending the "-param" in front.

But unable to append single quotes (') before and after the country.

This is the code i am using.
Code:
Paramfile=/test/unix/param.prm
Parmfile=`awk '{printf("-param %s ", $0)}' $ParmFile`

Can somebody help me out with this.

Cheers!!!!!!

Guys,

When i am running the awk command,

Code:
awk -F= 'NR>1{printf " "}{printf "-param "$1 "=\047" $NF "\047"}END{print RS}' ORS=" " input

But when i am running it in script, i am getting "\" along with single quotes(').

Actually it is passing it to some other program which is not able to recognize it..

It is passing like this.

Code:
echo $Parmfile
+ echo -param 'DbName='\''GMNGSRDB'\''' -param 'DbUser='\''NGSRALL'\''' -param 'DbPass='\''NGSRALL'\''' -param 'SrcLocation='\''/appl/data/VSTAR/global_daily/landing/GMKOREA'\''' -param 'SrcFile1='\''gmkoreacom_dly_sls_20120126165859.txt'\''' -param 'SrcFile2='\'''\''' -param 'IpLocation='\''/appl/data/VSTAR/global_daily/input/'\''GM' KOREA 'COMPANY'\'''\''' -param 'IpFile='\''gmkoreacom_dly_sls_20120126165859.txt'\''' -param 'OutLocation='\''/appl/data/VSTAR/global_daily/output'\''' -param 'BatchTrkId='\''22222'\''' -param 'BusinessUnit='\''GM' KOREA 'COMPANY'\''' -param 'Country='\''SOUTH' 'KOREA'\''' -param 'CurrSlsDate='\''2012-01-25'\''' -param 'PriorSlsDate='\''2010-01-25'\''' -param 'CurrSlsMth='\''2012-01-01'\''' -param 'CurrMnthStartSlsDate='\''2012-01-01'\''' -param 'PriorMnthStartSlsDate='\''2010-01-01'\''' -param 'CurrYrStartSlsDate='\''2012-01-01'\''' -param 'PriorYrStartSlsDate='\''2010-01-01'\''' -param 'OutFile1='\''Gbldly_D_Ods_DlySls_RefVal_010.GMKOREA.txt'\''' -param 'OutFile2='\''GblDly_D_Ods_DlySls_SalesFactFileCreation.GMKOREA.txt'\'''

Can somebody help me out here.

Cheers!!!!!!!!

What you see is just an information line : the "+" at heading of your line means that you are in a debug mode : i suppose you have a set -x in your script ... (or something similar that enable the debug mode)

the \' as displayed in debug mode will just be display correctly.

Here is a simple example that you can manually test :

Code:
echo -param 'DbName='\''GMNGSRDB'\'''

as result you will get
Code:
-param DbName='GMNGSRDB'

Through Sed..
Code:
[mkt@michael]$ sed -n 'H
> ${
> x
> s/=\([a-zA-Z ][a-zA-Z ]*\)/="\1" /g;s/\n/-param /gp
> }' inputfile
-param Name="unix" -param Country="United States"
[mkt@michael]$

If you have the option, a better design for the parameter file would be to use unix Shell syntax,
then you could execute the file as . ./filename.
(i.e. This is the technique used extensively by system "rc" scripts).

Code:
Name="unix"
Country="United States"
