Help with 3 variable bash loop 40 weeks 3 hours ago

Hi all! I think someone might be able to solve my problem pretty easily.

I am trying to run a bash loop with 3 variables.

I have a file and i'd like to be able to read it, taking each line to a variable as dictated by the file:

structure: var1:result1 var2:result2 var3:result3 I'd like each of these to represent var1=result1 var2=result2 var3=result3 I think i know how to split these up using : as a seperator, but i'm not sure where to start on taking one of the elements as the variable name.

Cheers Chris

I'm writing a script and I would like to pass the results from bc into a variable. I've declared 2 variables (var1 and var2) and have given them values. In my script I want to pass the results from bc into another variable say var3 so that I can work with var3 for other calculations.

Hi All,

Need your inputs for the below.

I have 2 different servers 611 & 610, where i would be running two scripts.

I'm learning the basics of shell programming, so I wrote something simple like

#!/bin/bash read var1 read var2 if [ var1 -lt var2 ]; then echo "var1 is lt var2" else echo "var2 is lt var1" fi

My understanding is that variables are untyped in Bash, and that any variable may be used as an integer if it only contains digits.

Hi, I just am make friend with scripting 2 weeks ago and has completely no idea how to search for the keyword to all the following syntax. Please help.

var1="${mode:-AUTO}" Does this mean that the variable var1 is assigned with the pass-in argument? Then what does ':-AUTO' means?

var2="${mydate}_lock.text"

Suppose i have this file

var1 300 var1 400 var3 600

Now how can i compare the $1(from line 1) == $1 (from line 2)

basically i just want to add the columns if the name is equal

Only with awk

The output should br

var1 700 var3 600

Use Variable in 44 weeks 5 days ago

Hi,

I need to pass a variable in the search string of awk. I have tried different forms, but the awk -v option does not work on my Unix version.

This is what i need (Example) :

Code:

var=GHI var1=coll$var var3=$(awk -v d="$var1" '$1 ~ d { print $2 }' abc.txt) Is there any alternative to the "-v" option?

Thanks,
