Well, it's not easy to express desire to have received advice to read man sed, man awk, info sed, info awk, man 7 regex.

echo "$filename"
mplayer "$filename"
here is an example of awk/gawk in use......this script looks thru my ogg files and chooses one at random and plays it thru mplayer..........one can also edit it to use xine, xmms, etc and it can choose mp3 files also..........

how to extract a particular word from a string in Shell scripting
 
hye,

since i'm not able to start a new thread, i'm raising my question here.
I have a variable saying $remaining="/etc /var /sns /vol"(which is assigned at runtime)
i want to check whether '/sns' is present in that. If it is, it should be removed and the string must be like $remaining="/etc /var /vol"
Can I use awk command to do that.
Plz help.Thnx in advance

Awk by example: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwork...ry/l-awk1.html

onlynimal 07-26-2007 02:15 AM
thanks.
but i want to extract from a string. not from a file..
so i dont think that 'awk' will work for this. can u suggest some other command in shell

Maybe a bit anticlimactic, but my favorite sed and awk tutorials are at:

That's cool to embed the awk code into the bash. Too, can you do so with perl embeded into bash ?
nice script


btw, this is a nice tuto / book / pdf:
(not in english, sorry)

Re Perl, sure.
Normally all the Perl progs i write are self-sufficient, but there's no reason you can't call them from within a shell script.
After all, you call them from the cmd line (bash) anyway ...
