Shell Programming and Scripting

Now, I get this error:

5.3/examples/activities/Java/javaCode/JavaTest.zip printf: 17102:/home/rpmuser/TIB_bw_5.3/TIB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/examples/activities/Java/javaCode/JavaTest.zip: value not completely converted
17102

for this line of code:
FILE_SIZE_1=${i%%:*)}
Without that, as you said the output just for line find....
4625:/home/rpmuser/COB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/doc/bw/html/pdg/dg16.htm
4122:/home/rpmuser/COB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/doc/bw/html/pdg/dg17.htm

If I run with for loop, I get :
File Size Location 1 Size Location 2 Difference
5.3/admin-plugins/BWAdmin.war
5.3/admin-plugins/UDDIAdmin.war
I am getting File_base but File_Size_1 is giving me issues.

I am getting all zeroes for the File_Size_1. Now i am getting the output but as the File_size_1 value is 0, all others are messed up.
Am I putting it wrong somewhere ??

Alright, something's going on with with me for last 30 mins.
But I feel it is not able to differentiate the filesize..coz I am getting:
File Size Location 1 Size Location 2 Difference
./filesize3.sh[31]: 5336821:/home/rpmuser/COB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/admin-plugins/BWAdmin.war: unexpected `:'

With Earlier script that you sent, I was getting
./filesize2.sh[23]: /home/rpmuser/COB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/admin-plugins/BWAdmin.war: unexpected `/'

Well even though I don't have your system in front of me and even though I did throw this together quickly, your examples aren't lining up with your earlier posts so it's very hard to solve your problem.
doesn't really agree with
My reply was simply to guide you into one possible solution and I essentially hard coded my assumptions. Please clarify the requirements if you need further help.

hey tmarikle,
I am sorry to give you wrong data. Actually I am trying this in two diferent boxes. I was replicating the scenario which I was giving you all the time. But I posted you the output of the other box.
Its not to misguide you. But the issue I am having is, as I told you in my previous mail and I am not able to figure it out and I see it in both boxes.
File Size Location 1 Size Location 2 Difference
./filesize3.sh[31]: 5336821:/home/rpmuser/COB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/admin-plugins/BWAdmin.war: unexpected `:'
for this line of code:
FILE_SIZE_1=${i%%:*)} is what I am not able to understand. When I comment it out, I get '0' for Filesize1 and other results are right.

Please let me know if you have a resolution and thank you once again for your time.

Actually there is somewhat of an error on that line but was working in my environment.

The expression ${i%%:*)} should lose the right parenthesis and should look like ${i%%:*}

Ultimately you are trying to remove all of the text from "5336821:/home/rpmuser/COB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/admin-plugins/BWAdmin.war" to the right of, and including, the colon. The output should be 5336821 by itself. Also, your shell matters, I use KSH and this won't work with every shell. Let's first prove whether this is a problem by trying the following:
You should get the 5336821 portion of the string by itself.

Alternatively, you can use cut or awk to accomplish the same thing.

print "${i}" | nawk -F: '{print $1}'
or
print "${x}" | cut -d: -f1

It's your choice but I prefer to use the first method since it utilizes shell built-in functionality and doesn't require another process.

The problem I am getting is: when I run FILE_BASE=${i##*:${HOME_DIR}/} line,
I get output as
5.3/examples/activities/soap/interop/dotNet/Server.zip 0
5.3/examples/activities/soap/interop/dotNet/SoapProcess.cs 0
5.3/examples/activities/soap/interop/dotNet/SoapProcess.exe 0
There are '0's coming aswell.

In the same way, when I run FILE_SIZE_1=${i%%*:}
I get output
7686:/home/rpmuser/COB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/lib/log4j.properties 0
510874:/home/rpmuser/COB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/lib/tibsoap.jar 0
2013:/home/rpmuser/COB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/lib/com/tibco/deployment/bwengine.xml 0
168:/home/rpmuser/COB_bw_5.3.0/5.3/lib/designer.policy

Maybe if you can get some idea.

Also, the commands you gave me as alternative, they work fine along with print, but when I try to include in your script as
FILE_BASE="${i}" | awk -F: '{print $2}' instead of - print "${i}" | awk -F: '{print $2}'
I am getting a blank output which makes me still ??
