bash; echo multiple numeric values on one line

[jsimon963]

ok, still learning but I've been trying to get this right for hours. I'm trying to get multiple numeric valued version information into a variable, all on the same line.

I want for example $VERSION=3.1.0.01.002. I'm trying to pull seperate values from the file named version.properties, wherein the file contains;

patch.rel.num=0
sqa.num=01
major.rel.num=3
build.num=002
minor.rel.num=1


so I have the following script;

###########################
#!/bin/bash

BUILDVERFILE="version.properties"

PATCH=`grep "patch.rel.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
SQA=`grep "sqa.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
MAJOR=`grep "major.rel.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
BUILD=`grep "build.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
MINOR=`grep "minor.rel.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`

P=`echo $PATCH | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
S=`echo $SQA | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
MA=`echo $MAJOR | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
B=`echo $BUILD | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
MI=`echo $MINOR | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`

VERSION=$MA.$MI.$P.$S.$B
echo $VERSION
###########################

I end up with the value of .002 ?? Seems like it's only getting the last portion because if I run the script thru "bash -x" I get;

...
+ VERSION=$'3\r.1\r.0\r.01\r.002\r'
+ echo $'3\r.1\r.0\r.01\r.002\r'
.002


...it's killin me! where have I gone wrong?

Thanks!

awk 'BEGIN{ FS="[.=]"}
{ data[$1]=$NF}
END{ print data["major"]"."data["minor"]"."data["patch"]"."data["sqa"]}' file

[jsimon963]

awk 'BEGIN{ FS="[.=]"}
{ data[$1]=$NF}
END{ print data["major"]"."data["minor"]"."data["patch"]"."data["sqa"]}' file

thanks ghostdog74,

Problem is, you are assuming I'm as brilliant in interpreting what you are telling me to do, as you are in writing it!

can you dumb it down for me a bit, what do I do with this?

[hugortega]

FS="[.=]" means "the field separator is the equals sign"
data[$1]=$NF means "put each row on an associative array using the field as the key and the last column as the value"... $1 is the first word on each row and $NF means the value of last column.

[jsimon963]

so this short script in and of itself can retrieve the data but how do I then retrieve it by calling a variable? How do I get, for example;

This is build; $VERSION

[hugortega]

You can save the script, let say 'foo.sh' and use the output to set the variable:

VERSION=`foo.sh`
echo $VERSION

[jsimon963]

Then, I have two files, the first file "HECMS_version.sh";

[root]# more HECMS_version.sh
#!/bin/bash
awk 'BEGIN{ FS="[.=]"}
{ data[$1]=$NF}
END{ print data["major"]"."data["minor"]"."data["patch"]"."data["sqa"]"."data["b
uild"]}' ./version.properties

the second file named "getbldversion4";

[root]# more getbldversion4
VERSION=`./HECMS_version.sh`
echo $VERSION


but I get the same result I started with, when trying to echo this thing ...the just the last portion of the version number. (build.num=002)

[root]# ./getbldversion4
.002

[jsimon963]

ok, I've solved it ...was all my problem,the file I was retrieving the values from, had Windows style carriage returns in it! Sorry, I never noticed that...

Thanks both for all your assistance!
