Unknown command '\;'
Hello,
I am running ubuntu 16.04 .
Below script gives: "unknown command '\;'

Code:
counter=105
while read COL1 COL2 COL3
do
let counter++
url="http://localhost/test/$COL1.$COL2.$COL3";
mysql -uroot -D mydatabase -pmypasswd -e "SELECT video_id FROM video_series_files WHERE id IN \
(SELECT video_id FROM video_series_files WHERE url like '%$COL1%.mkv')" > video_id
sed -i '/video_id/d' video_id;
sed -i '/--/d' video_id;
while read -r line
do
mysql -uroot -D mydatabase -pmypasswd -e "INSERT INTO video_series_files (id, video_id, file_type, \
protocol, url, languages, quality, accessed ,status ) VALUES ('.$counter.', \
'$line', 'sub', 'custom', '$url', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:\'$COL2'\;}',  '', '1', '1' )";
done<video_id
done<2

2
Code:
Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington     en      srt
Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington     fr      srt
Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington     el      srt

I have checked the database and I confirm that id 103 and following lines are already empty.
Could you please let me know why I receive this error?


Thank you
Boris

Code:
done<2

I do not see where 2 is open for read. 2 is normally stderr. This is abnormal, IMO. It can break things behind the scenes.

Just shooting in the dark, I'd guess it's here: \'$COL2'\;} when the semicolon is escaped in lieu of the second single quote. And, as jim mcnamara already pointed out, the redirection should be reconsidered.

Hello,
Thank you for your answers. (To make it easily readable, long parts of the codes are hidden now)
Upon your recommendation, I tested shown below correlations:
Code:
while read COL1 COL2 COL3 && while read -r line <&3; do
..
..
..
'$line', 'sub', 'custom', '$url', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:\"$COL2"\;}',  '', '1', '1' )";
done<video_id 3<2

Also tried below one:

Code:
while read COL1 COL2 COL3 && while read -r line <&3; do
..
..
..
'$line', 'sub', 'custom', "$url', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:\"$COL2"\;}",  '', '1', '1' )";
done<video_id 3<2

And the last one:

Code:
while read COL1 COL2 COL3 && while read -r line <&3; do
..
..
..
'$line', 'sub', 'custom', "$url', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:\"$COL2\";}",  '', '1', '1' )";
done<video_id 3<2

Still investigating. I doubt second loop is not in correct position as input of second loop is created by first loop.
PS: when bold part is written into sql, output in sql database should be shown like:
| a:1:{i:0;s:2:"fr";} |

Kind regards
Boris

That code snippet seems a bit overcomplicated with its double loop and sed operating on intermediate files. Do you know about the (oracle) set head off equivalent in mysql: -N and -s? Et voila, two sed invocations gone. You then could pipe the first select(id numbers) into the second loop.

What's the result of the first select per every single loop iteration given we have three times the same film title in file 2 ?

One more question: is 2 the name of the input file, and thus NOT a file descriptor?

Hello Rudic,
* I do not know the equivalent of set head off
* As output of first loop looks like below, I do not know how to pipe it to second mysql process.
Code:
video_id
3

That's why, first I remove first line, then read it again with second loop.

* 2 is not a file descriptor. It includes file basename , language and file extension in tab separated format.

filename: 2
Code:
Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington     en      srt
Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington     fr      srt
Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington     el      srt

*Output of first mysql query:
Quote:
What's the result of the first select per every single loop iteration given we have three times the same film title in file 2 ?
output is video_id file:
Code:
video_id
3

Last status:
Code:
while read COL1 COL2 COL3 && while read -r line <&3; do
..
..
..
'$line', 'sub', 'custom', '$url', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:\"$COL2"\;}',  '', '1', '1' )";
done<2 3<video_id

Kind regards
Boris

How about preparing an sql- file outside mysql using e.g. awk and then executing this with a single mysql invocation? Like create barisprep:
Code:
{print  "INSERT INTO video_series_files (id, video_id, file_type, protocol, url, languages, quality, accessed ,status )" \
        " SELECT '." ++CNT ".', video_id, 'sub', 'custom', 'http://localhost/test/" $1 "." $2 "." $3 "', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:'" $2 \
        "';}', '', '1', '1' FROM video_series_files WHERE url like '%" $1 "%.mkv';"}

, running it with
Code:
awk -vCNT=$counter -fbarisprep 2 > barisprep.sql

resulting in

Code:
INSERT INTO video_series_files (id, video_id, file_type, protocol, url, languages, quality, accessed ,status ) SELECT '.106.', video_id, 'sub', 'custom', 'http://localhost/test/Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington.en.srt', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:'en';}', '', '1', '1' FROM video_series_files WHERE url like '%Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington%.mkv';
INSERT INTO video_series_files (id, video_id, file_type, protocol, url, languages, quality, accessed ,status ) SELECT '.107.', video_id, 'sub', 'custom', 'http://localhost/test/Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington.fr.srt', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:'fr';}', '', '1', '1' FROM video_series_files WHERE url like '%Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington%.mkv';
INSERT INTO video_series_files (id, video_id, file_type, protocol, url, languages, quality, accessed ,status ) SELECT '.108.', video_id, 'sub', 'custom', 'http://localhost/test/Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington.el.srt', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:'el';}', '', '1', '1' FROM video_series_files WHERE url like '%Mr.Smith.Goes.to.Washington%.mkv';

and then source it like
Code:
mysql -uroot -D mydatabase -pmypasswd -sN  < barisprep.sql


EDIT: or even
Code:
mysql -uroot -D mydatabase -pmypasswd -sN  < $(awk -vCNT=$counter -fbarisprep 2)
