remove (STDIN)= label in BASH - bash

Question

i am having a problem with (STDIN)
i have written the following bash script to calculate the sha1 hash of a string and output it in upper-case formatted ready for copying into a plist file for example.
here is the script :-
#!/bin/bash
echo 'Enter String :-';
read temp_var1; #Read string
hash=$(echo -n $temp_var1 | openssl sha1); #Copy hash into variable $hash
uphash=$(echo $hash | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]';); #Convert hash to Upper-case
echo 'Below is the UPPERCASE SHA1 Hash of your string';
echo ' </yourHash>'$uphash'</yourHash>'; #Echo formatted string
This whole script works well apart for one key problem.
the output is not what i want it to be.
for example with an input of
Hello, World!
i want to get the following output:-
Below is the UPPERCASE SHA1 Hash of your string
</yourHash>0A0A9F2A6772942557AB5355D76AF442F8F65E01</yourHash>
instead what i am getting is this :-
Below is the UPPERCASE SHA1 Hash of your string
</yourHash>(STDIN)= 0A0A9F2A6772942557AB5355D76AF442F8F65E01</yourHash>
my question is. How do i remove this (STDIN)= lable and the space that follows it?
many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Answer 1

You can strip it off the front using parameter substitution like this:
a="(STDIN)= 0A0A9F2A6772942557AB5355D76AF442F8F65E01"
b=${a#*= } # Strip up to "=" sign
echo $b
0A0A9F2A6772942557AB5355D76AF442F8F65E01
I suspect that there is an option to openssl to stop it generating the "(STDIN)" part, but mine doesn't do that.

Answer 2

Probably not the best solution, but you can use awk to select 2nd column. Like this:
echo -n $temp_var1 | openssl sha1 | awk '{print $2}'

Answer 3

I was successful with this approach (using sed) as well:
hash="(STDIN)= 0A0A9F2A6772942557AB5355D76AF442F8F65E01"
echo "before"
echo $hash
hash=$(echo $hash | sed 's/(stdin)= //g') #remove identified pattern globally
echo "after"
echo $hash
Result
before
(STDIN)= 0A0A9F2A6772942557AB5355D76AF442F8F65E01
after
0A0A9F2A6772942557AB5355D76AF442F8F65E01
