Help with 3 variable bash loop

linux-howto

http://www.unix.com – 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 know how to do: Code: for var1 in `cat list1`; do for var2 in `cat list2`; do for var3 in `cat list3`; command var1 var2 > var3; done; done; done However, this will run all permutations between the three variables. So if I have three files defining var1, var2 and var3, I only want the first line from each file to run in loop1, then the second line of each file to run for loop2, etc.... So if each file as 10 variables, the loop will run 10 times: first iteration (HowTos)

String Comparison 23 weeks 3 days ago

Hi I am beginner in writing shell scripting please tell me how to compare a string in Unix shell. i have two variables in a shell script,

Code: var1="00101 00201 00301 303 401 405" var2="101 201 301" i want to compare var1 with var2 . for example if 101 from Var1 present in Var2 or not. similarly 201 of Var1 present in Var2.

Hi,

Into KSH, or AWK, I have a variable that contains undefined number of varX. who knows how much

Code: MYVAR="var1|var2|var3..." I would like to convert it to this format, that would ouput echo $mynewvariablecontent

Code: 'var1','var2','var3' would you have the possible solution?

Below is the issue I am having.

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.

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 All,

Need your inputs for the below.

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

Hello everyone :) I am trying to think of a logic where my file contains some data I had to read and do some processing. Issue is that file contains data multiple times. For example:

::::::::::: var1=value1 var2=value2 ::::::::::: var1=value3 var2=value4 :::::::::::

I need to pass an argument from the command line to the "at" command.

I want "at" to run a script which requires a few arguments from the command line when it runs.
