I am writing a batch script on windows to automate downloading files with using WinSCP. I have the following code snippet and it works perfectly; however, depending on the user the user name is different so I want user to be a variable that users can specify.
#echo off
set message=Starting something cool
echo %message%
:: This is comment ?
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
/log="C:\Users\this_user\Desktop\temp_log\WinSCP.log" ^
/ini=nul ^
/command ^
"open sftp://test:crl#192.168.113.133/ -hostkey=""ssh-ed25519 255 H23HQ7fVOAun2yaVJ6tZwOWyIQ5nkmhiWz+gfxSnwRQ""" ^
"get /var/log/kern.log C:\Users\this_user\Desktop\temp_log\sys\" ^
"exit"
set WINSCP_RESULT=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %WINSCP_RESULT% equ 0 (
echo Success
) else (
echo Error
)
exit /b %WINSCP_RESULT%
So I want "this_user" to be a variable
I tried the following:
THIS_USER="this_user"
C:\Users\this_user\Desktop\$THIS_USER
but no luck.

Note: as the OP is a new user, I'm editing the question with reproducible details so that it doesn't get closed. It's a good question, but was originally confusing.
The Windows username is: jhon^smith
ECHO %username%
output : jhonsmith
My expectation:
jhon^smith
If I use:
echo "%username%"
then the output is:
"jhon^smith"
How can I remove the double quotes but keep the caret, which is actually part of the username?
This should work:
for /f %a in ("%username%") do echo %a
output:
jhon^smith
(btw: It should be spelt john^smith but never mind.)
Explanation:
In the command echo %username%, cmd.exe replaces %username% with its actual content, so the command becomes echo jhon^smith. This is then parsed, the the ^ is processed as the escape character, so it replaces ^s with s.
In the command for /f %a in ("%username%") do echo %a, the quoted string is treated as a string without the quotes, and no parsing of ^ is performed. Type for /? for more details.

I have the following simple bash code to test string comparison:
#!/bin/sh
BRANCH="master"
echo $ref
if [[ "$ref" = "refs/heads/$BRANCH" ]]
then
echo "Matches"
else
echo "Do not match"
fi
When I ran the code using export ref=/refs/heads/master && . sample I get the following result:
/refs/heads/master
Do not match
What may be causing the problem?
What is causing the problem is the missing slash in your test: /refs/heads/master is not equal to refs/heads/master!

I would like to know how to remove parentheses and square brackets and what's inside of them in a list of files' names, using a .bat file
For example:
[Tag]File (1).mkv
to
File.mkv
The solution to your issue can be found in syntax-replacement. The first thing you want to do is have the batch file turn your file name into a variable. From there, you can use syntax-replacement with the set= to replace/remove parts of the variable.
The script bellow will remove [square brackets] and the contents inside them, and (parentheses) and the contents inside them.
Please keep in mind that this script bellow in an example to demonstrate syntax-replacement. It will not check/test (if) somethings in-front or behind. It expects you to have it formatted as [Tag]Name(#).ex - Change it to your needs.
#echo off
#setlocal
::Input your file location bellow.
call :edit "C:\Users\%username%\Desktop\[TAG]Hello(1).jpg"
goto :EOF
:edit
::Define file as variable
set file=%~1
set start=%~1
::Define file extension as variable
set ext=%file:*.=%
::Remove right square bracket and everything before it
set square=%file:*]=%
::Remove everything after left parentheses
set efile=%square%
set endbit=%efile:*(=%
call set result=%%efile:%endbit%=%%
::Remove left parentheses
set final=%result:(=%
::Add file extension and rename
ren %start% "%final%.%ext%"
exit

why am I getting "bash missing'" for this:
function get_xserver ()
{
case $TERM in
xterm )
XSERVER=$(who am i | awk '{print $NF}' | tr -d ')''(' )
;;
aterm | rxvt)
# Find some code that works here. ...
;;
esac
}
This is the exact error:
bash: [: missing `]'
The error is not in the code you posted. The error message:
-bash: [: missing `]'
Means exactly what it says - there is a missing ] character, namely in a [ test ] statement.
Try it:
$ [ 1 -eq 2
-bash: [: missing `]'
You need to identify where the error actually is, and add the missing closing bracket.

I'm trying to loop over all environment variables in a shell script, and create an HTML query string from ones which match a pattern. Unfortunately, I can't seem to assign to variables in the loop. I've got this:
#!/bin/sh
IFS=$'\n'
TAGS=""
for item in $(printenv)
do
if [[ $item == FOO_TAG_* ]]
then
TAGS = "${TAGS}&${item}"
fi
done
But this gives me
/etc/script.sh: line 9: TAGS: command not found
/etc/script.sh: line 9: TAGS: command not found
How do I fix this?
In the assignment, remove space between variable name and =
TAGS="${TAGS}${item}"
