Variable not passed to the sed command
Hello,
I am writing a script [1] which is not giving the desired result. When I check the content of the 'InputFile_009_0.sh'[2], it shows following with missing Index in this command
Code:
sed -i "s/L1ITMBLT.root/L1ITMBLT_"".root/g" run_DttfFromCombinedPrimitives_cfg.py

of [2].

Any help?

The variable Index needs to be set outside the here-document, if you want to use it inside the here-document.

Hello emliy,

Not tested though but could you please try following command and let me know if this helps.

Code:
sed -i 's/L1ITMBLT.root/L1ITMBLT_${Index}.root/g' $CONFIGFILE

Thanks,
R. Singh

I modified the script as following, did not help either

Hello emily,

Could you please try following command this should work.
Code:
sed -i s/L1ITMBLT.root/L1ITMBLT_$Index.root/g $CONFIGFILE

No need of using ' in it.


Thanks,
R. Singh

sed -i 's/L1ITMBLT.root/L1ITMBLT_trash.root/g' run_DttfFromCombinedPrimitives_cfg.py

Well then it DOES work, doesn't it (L1ITMBLT_trash.root)?
