Hi
I have written a little script to change a html file. Several variables
are entered and will then be replaced in a file using sed. But this
doesn't work. I change the file menu using:
eval sed "
s/prix1/\"${prix[1]}\"/
s/prix2/\"${prix[2]}\"/
s/prix3/\"${prix[3]}\"/
s/prix4/\"${prix[4]}\"/
s/prix5/\"${prix[5]}\"/
" menu
The computer replies: ./cantine.sh: line 38: s/prix1/3,77/: No such
file or directory
./cantine.sh: line 39: s/prix2/ndggnd/: No such file or directory
./cantine.sh: line 40: s/prix3/fgsngfsn/: No such file or directory
./cantine.sh: line 41: s/prix4/sfgng/: No such file or directory
./cantine.sh: line 42: s/prix5/gnfgsn/: No such file or directory
./cantine.sh: line 43: menu: command not found
Normal, since I don't use simple quotas ' .
When I put the quotas :
eval sed '
s/prix1/\"${prix[1]}\"/
s/prix2/\"${prix[2]}\"/
s/prix3/\"${prix[3]}\"/
s/prix4/\"${prix[4]}\"/
s/prix5/\"${prix[5]}\"/
' menu
it gives the same answer. The first line is always well interpreted,
but the follows give the error messages.
How do I group sed commands together?
I use Kubuntu 6.10
Thanx
Al

^^^^
Is there any particular reason for this eval? Eval is often used when a
double evaluation is needed, which is very rarely the case. In all other
cases, it only makes matters more complicated because you've got to be
very careful about quoting...
s/prix1/\"${prix[1]}\"/
If you have multiple substitutions, you need to prefix each one with -e
Or else the script will mistake each one except the first for a filename.
s/prix2/\"${prix[2]}\"/
s/prix3/\"${prix[3]}\"/
s/prix4/\"${prix[4]}\"/
s/prix5/\"${prix[5]}\"/
" menu
The computer replies: ./cantine.sh: line 38: s/prix1/3,77/: No such file
or directory
./cantine.sh: line 39: s/prix2/ndggnd/: No such file or directory
./cantine.sh: line 40: s/prix3/fgsngfsn/: No such file or directory
./cantine.sh: line 41: s/prix4/sfgng/: No such file or directory
./cantine.sh: line 42: s/prix5/gnfgsn/: No such file or directory
Indeed, that's what happens (every substitution mistaken for a filename)
./cantine.sh: line 43: menu: command not found
I suppose menu is supposed to be the input file. No idea why it is being
mistaken as a command, maybe the eval?
Try this instead:
sed \
-e "s/prix1/\"${prix[1]}\"/g" \
-e "s/prix2/\"${prix[2]}\"/g" \
-e "s/prix3/\"${prix[3]}\"/g" \
-e "s/prix4/\"${prix[4]}\"/g" \
-e "s/prix5/\"${prix[5]}\"/g" \
menu
(This is assuming you actually want quotes in your output. If the quotes
were only there for the eval, just leave them out:)
sed \
-e "s/prix1/${prix[1]}/g" \
-e "s/prix2/${prix[2]}/g" \
-e "s/prix3/${prix[3]}/g" \
-e "s/prix4/${prix[4]}/g" \
-e "s/prix5/${prix[5]}/g" \
menu

With single quote, you don't need to escape the doublequote sign....
s/prix2/\"${prix[2]}\"/
s/prix3/\"${prix[3]}\"/
s/prix4/\"${prix[4]}\"/
s/prix5/\"${prix[5]}\"/
' menu

Looks to me like you're missing a \
s/prix1/\"${prix[1]}\"/
^ here
could you try with
s/prix1/\"\${prix[1]}\"/
also, I might suggest adding a 'g' at the end ...
s/prix1/\"\${prix[1]}\"/g
Let me know

Serge did answer with input regarding your problem,
there's no reason whatsoever for this kind of
animosity.
There's little life left on the list anyway, please
don't kill what's left of it off this way.
Greetings,
Eric
