[SOLVED] bash: create random script with select case

thecazz · 08-04-2013, 08:51 AM

Hi trying to create a script that random the weapon order on my CS GO server

I have this code

Code:

awk -v loop=12 -v range=23 'BEGIN{
  srand()
  do {
    numb = 1 + int(rand() * range)
    if (!(numb in prev)) {
       print numb
       prev[numb] = 1
       count++
    }
  } while (count<loop)
}'

And it work, it random 12 numbers between 1-23 and no duplicate.

Now I trying to add a select case because it is not the number I'm after it is some string that I like to write to a file.

For exemple

Code:

echo " \"nova\"      {\"kills\"   \"1\" }" >> text.txt

so it write to a file with that code.

But I get error when I did try add a select case.

Instead of printing the generated number grep the file holding the mappings for that number and then print the required items?

Excuse me but are you trying to generate a code to run in Bash later? Or do you want to run the generate code itself immediately? If that's the case you could just use Bash instead with the RANDOM variable instead of passing it to awk. Was the code originally awk?

If staying with awk and the weapons are all on individual lines, once the numbers are calculated you could simply return the rows of the generated numbers.

I'm not sure what you all mean.

yes, I like to generate the code immediately.

I know the "numb" have the generated number that I want to have.

Can't I just add a select case inside the loop.

Your code is for awk. But you want to generate those lines which runs in a shell (echo is for shells, while print is for awk), and your thread title says Bash. So you want to generate the bash or shell script code from Awk then run it in a shell or bash?

Ahh so you say the code I have is from awk and try to run it from bash.

To tell the truth I have problem alot but very very new to bash and Linux.
so I was just looking around a Little, try to read some example and try to make my own script.

I have read the beginner of bash so I know a Little.

That I'm after is to create a script to run with crontab to generate a new weapon order for my CS GO server.

so if I can't mix awk with bash, how do I make so it run 12 randomnumber that is not duplicate in bash?

I was thinking about add all the weapon in a select case

Code:

"mp9"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"mac10"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"mp7"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"bizon"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"ump45"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"p90"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"nova"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"mag7"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"xm1014"		{ "kills"	"1" }
"sawedoff"		{ "kills"	"1" }
"galilar"		{ "kills"	"1" }
"famas"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"ak47"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"m4a1"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"sg556"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"aug"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"awp"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"m249"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"negev"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"glock"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"hkp2000"		{ "kills"	"1" }
"tec9"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"p250"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"deagle"		{ "kills"	"1" }
"fiveseven"		{ "kills"	"1" }
"elite"			{ "kills"	"1" }
"knifegg"		{ "kills"	"1" }

take 12 of this to a config file

Use shuf, perhaps:

Code:

shuf -n 12 <original-weapon-list.txt >12-weapons-in-random-order.txt
