BASH: rename an argument of the script

sylvaticus · 05-21-2007, 04:55 AM

Hello, I have to rename the filename feeded to a script as CVS doesn't like absolute path..

here is the script (obviously is not working... )

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo $1 | sed 's/\/data\/Projects\/regmas/\.\./' > $TEST
echo $TEST
cvs status $TEST | sed -n 's/^[ \]*Working revision:[ \t]*\([0-9][0-9\.]*\).*/\1/p'

I want feed "cvs status" with the translation operated by sed on the fist provided argument, so it will operate e.g. on "../src/main.cpp" instead of "/data/Projects/regmas/src/main.cpp"..

I can't comment on the intend. The syntax however, is sometimes wrong, sometimes more complicated than needed, and sometimes less than needed:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
TEST="$(sed 's#/data/Projects/regmas#..#' <<<"$1")"
echo $TEST
cvs status "$TEST" | sed -n 's/^[ \\]*Working revision:[[:blank:]]*\([0-9][0-9\.]*\).*/\1/p'
