UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve the "Implementation version" from one of the .jar file
The command which tried is as below.

Code:

find /usr/local/platform  -name "platform.jar" -exec zipgrep "Implementation-Version:" '{}' \;|awk -F ': ' '{print $2}'

I am able to get the version as below

Code:

2.9.0-29

But the problem is the above command is not terminating naturally. I have to forcefully exit the command to return to the shell terminal.
On extracting the .jar file there is a MANIFEST file and "Implementation-Version" is written inside the MANIFEST file.Please help in getting the Implementation version from the jar file.

Please use CODE tags correctly as required by forum rules! Tagging your entire text is NOT the way to go!

I will abide this rule.It was mistakenly put.

In fact, I don't see a reason your command should not terminate.
- How big is the subdirectory structure?
- How many files with that name are scattered within?
- Is that file REALLY zipped?

1. Subdirectory under META-INF have many packages
2. File is getting extracted as per the below output

Apparently , modified the above command by omitting the colon( symbol as below and the result is having another keyword Implementation-Version outputting in the terminal,again i have to forcefully terminate the command. Will this could be the issue?

Code:

find /usr/local/platform  -name "platform.jar" -exec zipgrep "Implementation-Version" '{}' \;|awk -F ': ' '{print $2}'

Code:

2.9.0-29
                           <Implementation-Version>${project.version}</Implementation-Version>

After some research i modified the script which gets the required information and shell is exiting normally. Thanks

Code:

jpath=/home/user/dropbox/platform.jar
unzip -q -c $jpath META-INF/MANIFEST.MF | grep 'Implementation-Version' | cut -d ':' -f2>>testversion.txt

Output
2.9.0-29
