I need to run a few commands from terminal via a TCL script. This TCL script works fine.
set cmd_list [list {mkdir testdir} {cd testdir} ]
set dataportInterface "eth0"
lappend cmd_list [list ifconfig -a | grep -m 1 $dataportInterface]
However, as soon as I add the awk command, it starts failing.
Error is "Failed : extra characters after close-brace".
lappend cmd_list [list ifconfig -a | grep -m 1 $dataportInterface | awk 'BEGIN {FS="[:]"} { print $1 } END {}' | xargs -t ethtool -S]
I have tried several possibilities, but none of them work. For example, if I try
lappend cmd_list { }
then, $dataportInterface's value eth0 is not taken.
I tried putting a \ in front of all special characters (: " ' [ { and that threw the error $1 not recognized. I put the awk command in {{ brackets and that didn't work either. (error: doesn't recognize {{awk)
What is the correct way to go about this, and why?
Single quotes have no significance to Tcl - try changing '...' to {...}

Im writing a script that executes dig command on 2 domains, and after next cmd is host on output.
And always i will get for exmaple:
findUserServer=for r in $(dig +short $login.example.COM && dig +short $login.example.ORG); do host $r|awk '{print $NF}';done | awk -F "." '{print $1}';
1 output: >> asdf02 example
asdf02 - its a server name, its always same name starts "asdf".
Question: Have you any idea how to save to the variable only asdf02?
question+: asdf02 woudln't be always first, could be example asdf02
Should i do maybe a sed which looks on 4 first characters? If it's "asdf", then: [...]
Try not to pipe awk commands into each other and so:
for r in $(dig +short $login.example.COM && dig +short $login.example.ORG); do host $r;done | awk -F [.\ ] '/asdf02/ { print $10 }'
We use both a space and . as delimiters and then pattern match the output for the occurance of asdf02. If we find is, we print the address.
Run that through shellcheck.net ...
Try this.
findUserServer="$( for end in COM ORG; do
host $( dig +short $login.example.$end );
done | sed -n '/ asdf/{ s/^.* //; s/[.].*//; p; }' )"
This will run 2 digs and pipe the collective output through sed,
which will ignore lines that don't have asdf, and strip the matches clean for you.
Let me know if I missed details, because I don't have those exact values available.
I am searching an event field in a file but is giving wrong output. I am searching gpio-keys event in input devices for which I have written a script, but I'm unable to print anything in output file (in my case I am writing in a button device file it is null always). Please help me to figure out this. Where am I doing wrong in script file?
Bash script:
#!/bin/bash
if grep -q "gpio-keys" /proc/bus/input/devices ; then
EVENT=$(cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep "Handlers=kbd")
foo= `echo $EVENT | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) if($i=="evbug")printf($(i-1))}'`
#foo=${EVENT:(-7)}
echo -n $foo > /home/ubuntu/Setups/buttonDevice
fi
i am still not able to get anything in buttondevce
That's no wonder, since in the input line
H: Handlers=kbd event0
there's nowhere the evbug your awk script is looking for.
I my case it is event0 but it may vary also depends on how kernel allows.
If it is event0 or similar, then it's nonsensical to look for evbug. Change the statement
if($i=="evbug")printf($(i-1))
to
if ($i~"event") print $i
(using regular expression match).
I have rewritten my script like above. but through it, I have got two events(event0, event3) but … my input devices are many but i want the gpio-keys event
Aha - in order to take only the handler line from the gpio-keys section, you can use sed with an address range:
EVENT=`sed -n '/gpio-keys/,/Handlers=kbd/s/.*Handlers=kbd //p' </proc/bus/input/devices`
Prakash, I don't have access to your google drive. But I just want to give you some suggestion:-
foo= `echo $EVENT | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) if($i=="evbug")printf($(i-1))}'`
This is old style now. Better use like below:-
foo=$(echo $EVENT | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) if($i=="evbug")printf($(i-1))}')
Also always use double quotes "" when echoing a variable. See below:-
echo -n "$foo" > /home/ubuntu/Setups/buttonDevice
Try with the below code it will work for you
#!/bin/bash
if grep "gpio-keys" /proc/bus/input/devices >/dev/null ; then
cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep "Handlers=kbd" | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){ if($i ~ /eve/){printf "%s \n", $i} } }') > /home/ubuntu/Setups/buttonDevice
fi
The output in buttonDevice would be
event0
event1
.
.
.
.
event100
I'm trying to parse a lattice with grep and save the output in a variable in a cshell script. But somehow I always get the error message "Illegal variable name" when adding the FILE_IN_B variable. I tried different spacings after the variables name and also tried $() ,or %.* ,instead of sed to remove the last four letters but neither works in cshell. Also tried setting the declaration in "", to no avail. I'm really desperate here...
#!/bin/csh
set FILE_IN = file.ext
set SOURCE = home/Developer
set FILE_IN_B=`sed '/.\{4\}$//' >>> "$FILE_IN"`.lat
set REC = `grep -C 1 'I=11' "$SOURCE/Lattice/$FILE_IN_B" | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | cut -d= -f 2| sed 's/sp//'`
csh has some built-in variable manipulation, including one meant for extension removal:
% set FILE_IN=file.ext
% set FILE_IN_B="${FILE_IN:r}.lat"
% echo "$FILE_IN_B"
file.lat
If sed is required then printf can be used as the standard input, similar to portable sh:
% set FILE_IN=file.ext
% set FILE_IN_B=`printf %s "$FILE_IN" | sed 's/.\{4\}$//'`.lat
% echo "$FILE_IN_B"
file.lat
I have been trying to send parameter which also contains strong quoting but have been unsuccessful till now. I am trying to write a code something like this among with lots of variant which are also not working as expected :
diffFile()
{
cat dir1/$1 | "$2"
}
diffFile "chkconfig" "awk '{print $1}'"
But the problem is when i run the script the strong quoting gets escaped.
How can i pass the strong quoting?
Ok got a solution after playing with my script.
diffFile()
{
cat dir1/$1 | eval "$2"
}
diffFile "chkconfig" "awk '{print \$1}'"
I am going though some growing pains with Unix. My question:
I want to be able to print all my user defined variables in my shell. Let say I do the following in the shell:
$ x=9
$ y="Help"
$ z=-18
$ R="My 4th variable"
How would I go about printing:
x y z R
You should record your variables first at runtime with set, then compare it later to see which variables were added. Example:
#!/bin/bash
set | grep -E '^[^[:space:]]+=' | cut -f 1 -d = | sort > /tmp/previous.txt
a=1234
b=1234
set | grep -E '^[^[:space:]]+=' | cut -f 1 -d = | sort > /tmp/now.txt
comm -13 /tmp/previous.txt /tmp/now.txt
Output:
a
b
PIPESTATUS
Notice that there are still other variables produced by the shell but is not declared by the user. You can filter them with grep -v. It depends on the shell as well.
Add: Grep and cut could simply be just one sed a well: sed -n 's/^\([^[:space:]]\+\)=.*/\1/p'
Type set:
$ set
Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/tmp/launch-jiNTOC/Render
BASH=/bin/bash
BASH_ARGC=()
BASH_ARGV=()
BASH_LINENO=()
BASH_SOURCE=()
BASH_VERSINFO=([0]="3" [1]="2" [2]="51" [3]="1" [4]="release" [5]="x86_64-apple-darwin13")
BASH_VERSION='3.2.51(1)-release'
COCOS2DROOT=/Users/andy/Source/cocos2d
COLUMNS=80
DIRSTACK=()
...
(Oh, and BTW, you appear to have your variable syntax incorrect as you assign, say, A but print $A)
If variables are exported then you can use env command in Unix.
