My "Old Brain" syndrom is acting up again. I fixed this same kind of an issue once before but do you think I can figure out how? No.
I need to access a line in a csv file by the first field in the line. That field contains something like 16:Sun the day number and the day name.
I have commands that work when I run them by hand but they don't work in the script as posted below.
Code:
# Yom Tove reading setup
# Needs YOMTOVE DAY MONTH YEAR TZ LONG LAT passed in
function YTReading_Setup {
if echo $YOMTOVE | grep 'Pesach' ;then
CURENTDAY="$( hdate -q --not-sunset-aware $DAY $MONTH $YEAR | awk '{print $5;}' )"
read DAYNAME< <(date -d $YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY +%a)
echo "$CURRENTDAY"
echo "$DAYNAME"
READING=$(grep ^ "$CURENTDAY:$DAYNAME" "$STORDIR"/Pesach.csv)
echo "$READING"
DAYSREADING="$($CURENTDAY:$DAYNAME)"
else READING=$(grep ^"$YOMTOVE" "$STORDIR"/YomTove.csv)
DAYSREADING="${YOMTOVE// /}"
fi
READTIME="$(hdate -t -L$LONG -l$LAT -z$TZ $DAY $MONTH $YEAR | awk '/sunrise/{print $2}')"
IFS=, read -a arr <<<"$READING"
for ALIYAH in "${arr[@]:3:11}";do
ARRAY=( 95 100 105 110 115 120 125 )
SPEED=$(shuf -n1 - < <(printf "%s\n" "${ARRAY[@]}"))
ARRAY2=( m1 m2 m3 m4 m5 m6 m7 f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 )
SPEAKER=$(shuf -n1 - < <(printf "%s\n" "${ARRAY2[@]}"))
COMMAND="espeak -s "$SPEED" -ven-us+"$SPEAKER""
# Generate AND append to action file
echo "$COMMAND -f $STORDIR/$ALIYAH &" >> "$TMPDIR/$DAYSREADING"
done
at "$READTIME" "$MONTH/$DAY/$YEAR" -f "$TMPDIR/$DAYSREADING"
}
When run it returns this. As can be seen when $CURENTDAY is proccesed, in this case 21, it is ading a ' to the output, as in 21' so when the $READING is proccessed it does not find 21:Fri because now it contains an extra character and that is not in the csv and it is packing the whole csv into $READING
I have tried adding and removing both single and double quotes and searched online but have not rediscoverd how I fixed this problem just the other week.
I know it is something simple but I can't find it. Any help?
That fixed it but now I have a different issue. The saved file names have a ? prepended to them and they contain a : which I think is bad. Will have to look into it.
OK so I got rid of the : out of both the generated file name and the cvs file data because I thought it was as special character but that did not fix the issue. I am still seeing the add ' to the search string that is used to grep the csv file.
Is there a better way to assign the values to $CURENTDAY & $DAYNAME? $CURENTDAY must contain the Hebrew day number while $DAYNAME needs to contain the short day name as in Tue.
And then $READING is pulling the entire csv file in as its data instead of just the line for the specific date/day as it I intended. When it generates the 'at' job it always uses the data from line one in the csv file. I have removed all blank lines from the csv also.

yes there is a blank line
On a different note what does the ^ do in READING=$(grep ^"$CURENTDAY$DAYNAME" "$STORDIR"/Pesach.csv) I have looked in the man for grep but didn't find it. I saw it online somewhere but now I can't find it. On top of that I misplaced my grep reference book. :{
