Not sure I fully understand what you're after, but two things jump to my eyes :
- the second script seems to require data from stdin to work (grep) upon, but the first redirects its stdout to a file which, then, never appears again.
- the second script seems to require a parameter which the first doesn't supply when calling.
Thanks for the reply.
Sorry if I wasn't very clear.
I'm trying to gunzip many files and run them through a sed script for further processing before they get written to a file.
The 1st script attempts to do 2 things:'
1. Find gz files that are 40 minutes old
2. gunzip the files found in step one and run them through the sed script before they get written to a file
I worked on writing 2 scripts that did this.
Now I want to combine the two scripts so that the files are gunzipped and "edited" before they are written to a file.
Now I have to run the first script to gunzip all these files and then run the second script on those files to edit and rewrite.
I'm trying to only write the files once be combining the two scripts.
wouldn't make any sense at all. But you do not pass a filename to insert.sh, instead you flood its stdin with input. insert.sh has no method to deal with input from stdin, though. It is as if you are writing someone a letter who is only expecting telephone calls. Because he watches the phone the whole day but doesn't check his mailbox you can write as many letters as you want, he won't react.
I hope this helps.

These 3 Users Gave Thanks to bakunin For This Post:
I think I really over thought this and wasn't very clear in what my requirements were.
I originally had two scripts that worked great, but I needed two cron jobs to do and used more disk space because I gunzipped the files into one location and then edited them with another script into yet another directory.
My goal was to gunzip and edit together to only one directory, combining the two scripts I was using previously.
I got stuck on passing a shell variable from one script and passing it into the sed script.
This is what I came up with, I would appreciate it if anyone has a better way to do this.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
cd $HOME
find . -type f -mmin -40 -name '*.gz' -print | ( while read i
do
FILE=$(basename "${i}" .gz)
startTime="$(zgrep "<Setup" ${i})</Setup>"
dn=$(zgrep -m1 "DN" ${i})
gunzip -c "${i}" | sed -e "/<Target/a\ $dn" -e "/<Target/a \ \ \ \ \ \ $startTime" > tmp/"${FILE}"
done
)
If you told people what you want to achieve - not what and how you coded - solutions ("better ways") could be thought up. With yout above script, you unzip every .gz file THREE times! And, if there are more than one occurrence of e.g. "DN" in a file, the variable and thus replacement string might not be what you desired. And, if "DN" is missing in a file, the last one's will be used.
If you could make 100% sure "setup..." and "DN" will always precede "<Target" in your files, a very simple awk code could be offered.

Hi, sometimes one wants to edit files while still seeing output of earlier commands in terminal.

I cannot... (6 Replies)
