Does it possible to change path inside bash script?

tomislav91 · 08-07-2016, 05:16 AM

i was so confused either, primarly because it works like this

Code:

sed 's/'#SOMETHING=none'/'SOMETHING=none'/' configfile.txt

without "" in

Quote:

none

word. So i was confused why with it don't work. Thanks, now works. Can you point me to some improvments of that code? I will added to my bash script this command:

Code:

echo -n "give a name for script [ENTER]: "
read var_name
var_dir="/root/Documents/test"
unzip -o $var_name -d  $var_dir
mv $var_dir/$var_name.c $var_dir/$var_name.d
sed 's/#SOMETHING="none"/SOMETHING="none"/' configfile.txt
service something restart

If $var_name is a zip file, question should be more like
"Give the zip filename"

Thanks, that helps, but this text i random writed now, I know that that question is better

Some other suggestions?

What about zip name? What If I enter just a name of zip file with .zip in given name? Script wont move file, because it cant find anything like that. For example.
I have a file with name test.zip and inside that file test.c, I want to that test.c renamed in test.d, and my script does that job, but only if I in first question give a name just TEST, without .ZIP. How to solve that?

Easy way is to asking for name then add ".zip" for unzipping (with error checking test if file exists or not)

You mean to add .zip with this

Code:

unzip -o $var_name -d  $var_dir

to be

Code:

unzip -o $var_name.zip -d  $var_dir

Yes, or "$var_name.zip" (added quotes in case of spaces in filename)

Or you can remove it but it depends on the flow of your code and how many times it needs to be added or removed to use the best option for you.
To remove:

Code:

${var_name%.zip}
