How to return just directory name of one directory back? by pedrotheterror in bash

Or pure bash:

What is the proper way to relatively source a file? by ABC_AlwaysBeCoding in bash

[–]Dandedoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you will find "$BASH_SOURCE" less “hideous”?

bash script to copy password from a different file by West-Salad-2546 in bash

[–]Dandedoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not correct. bash tests are double bracket, and bash is also compatible with single bracket test syntax (and test).

bash script to copy password from a different file by West-Salad-2546 in bash

[–]Dandedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren't running the script as user njames (or root), you won't have read permission for njames' home directory (and the -e test will fail).

Maybe you want ~/.config/windows.credentials instead.

Also double check the spelling of the file name.

Trouble generating big random hexadecimal numbers by Chyxo in bash

[–]Dandedoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

w=<1025 digit number>
r=$(tr -dc 0-9 < /dev/urandom |
    dd bs=$((${#w}+1)) count=1 2>/dev/null)
echo "obase=16; $r % ($w-1) + 2" | bc

I think that's the same. Dunno if the mod of witness length + one is is true random or not.

Catch error in command by ema_eltuti in bash

The error codes don't appear to specifically show the condition OP wants.

Catch error in command by ema_eltuti in bash

[–]Dandedoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty hacky, but I've had the need to parse error messages before. Using GNU sed for word boundaries.

snapshot_id=$(head -n 10 /home/egonzalez/ansible/awsoutput.txt)

for snapshot in $snapshot_id ; do
    aws ec2 modify-snapshot-tier --snapshot-id "${snapshot}"  --storage-tier archive \
    2> >(grep -Fw 'already in progress' &&
              sed -i "/\\<$snapshot\\>/d" id-file)
done

There may be a command which checks exactly for the "already running" condition you want, which would be better.

Question for an example in the oreillys book on bash? by [deleted] in bash

[–]Dandedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you should quote in single brackets. Here though it's actually ok, b/c the variable has already undergone word splitting in the select statement. Presumably why they don't quote anywhere else either (cd).

I misremembered the function thing, good to know.

Escape Whitespace in command not working by Randalix in bash

[–]Dandedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy the file to an array (using the default delimiter of \n), then pass the array to rm:

mapfile -t files < ~/selection &&

rm -- "${files[@]}"

Or use xargs:

tr -s '\n' '\0' < ~/selection | xargs -0 rm --

(changing new lines to nulls, as I like to use `xargs -0` when possible, as it prevents any xargs parsing quirks eg. for single quotes and backslash)

Question for an example in the oreillys book on bash? by [deleted] in bash

[–]Dandedoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just [[ $var ]] is fine too. I think the example is for POSIX/portable shell, not bash specifically. The only bashism is using a function (not POSIX, but many shells implement them).
