Create script within a script
Hi,

I am having problem in creating a tcsh script that will create a bsh script.

My code is as the following

Code:
#! /bin/tcsh -f
set 
ITER = iter1
 
 
mkdir attr
 
cd attr
 
 
echo ITER= | gawk -v "iter=${ITER}" '{print $0iter}' >! attr_cps.sh
 
cat <<EOF >> attr_cps.sh
#Change the parameters if necessary
 
tol=100.0
min_sig=0.0
max_dip=85.0
 
 
LINEA=`\fgrep LINEA= ../../*par | cut -d "=" -f2 | \awk '{print $1;}'`
LINE=`\fgrep LINEA= ../../*par | cut -d "=" -f3`
 
echo combine attributes ...
echo LINEA=$LINEA LINE=$LINE 
 
rm L*vs
 
attrSti.g64 \
-G_FILE ../../L$LINE.geom \
-INPUT_FILE ../rcd_stick/L${LINE}_${ITER}_4_deci_rcd.stick \
-OUTPUT_FILE L${LINE}_${ITER}_rcd.vs \
-MINIMUM_SIGMA ${min_sig} \
EOF

and the error message I got are as

Code:
fgrep: No match.
fgrep: No match.
LINEA: Undefined variable.

Could anyone out there point me a solution for this problem? Thanks so
much.

Re: Create script within a script
You need to wrap EOF in quotes ("EOF")

Try this:

Code:
#! /bin/tcsh -f
set 
ITER = iter1
 
 
mkdir attr
 
cd attr
 
 
echo ITER= | gawk -v "iter=${ITER}" '{print $0iter}' >! attr_cps.sh
 
cat <<"EOF" >> attr_cps.sh
#Change the parameters if necessary
 
tol=100.0
min_sig=0.0
max_dip=85.0
 
 
LINEA=`\fgrep LINEA= ../../*par | cut -d "=" -f2 | \awk '{print $1;}'`
LINE=`\fgrep LINEA= ../../*par | cut -d "=" -f3`
 
echo combine attributes ...
echo LINEA=$LINEA LINE=$LINE 
 
rm L*vs
 
attrSti.g64 \
-G_FILE ../../L$LINE.geom \
-INPUT_FILE ../rcd_stick/L${LINE}_${ITER}_4_deci_rcd.stick \
-OUTPUT_FILE L${LINE}_${ITER}_rcd.vs \
-MINIMUM_SIGMA ${min_sig} \
EOF

Yes. Without that, the shell will interpret variables and backticks inside it.
