Advanced Bash−Scripting Guide # The variables may contain embedded whitespace, #+ or even (horrors), control characters. # Excerpts from system file, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit #+ (on a Red Hat Linux installation) if [ −f /fsckoptions ]; then fsckoptions=`cat /fsckoptions` ... fi # # if [ −e "/proc/ide/${disk[$device]}/media" ] ; then hdmedia=`cat /proc/ide/${disk[$device]}/media` ... fi # # if [ ! −n "ùname −r | grep −− "−"`" ]; then ktag="`cat /proc/version`" ... fi # # if [ $usb = "1" ]; then sleep 5 mouseoutput=`cat /proc/bus/usb/devices 2>/dev/null|grep −E "Î.*Cls=03.*Prot=02"` kbdoutput=`cat /proc/bus/usb/devices 2>/dev/null|grep −E "Î.*Cls=03.*Prot=01"` ... fi Do not set a variable to the contents of a long text file unless you have a very good reason for doing so. Do not set a variable to the contents of a binary file, even as a joke. Example 14−1. Stupid script tricks #!/bin/bash # stupid−script−tricks.sh: Don't try this at home, folks. # From "Stupid Script Tricks," Volume I. dangerous_variable=`cat /boot/vmlinuz` # The compressed Linux kernel itself. echo "string−length of \$dangerous_variable = ${#dangerous_variable}" # string−length of $dangerous_variable = 794151 # (Does not give same count as 'wc −c /boot/vmlinuz'.) # echo "$dangerous_variable" # Don't try this! It would hang the script. # The document author is aware of no useful applications for #+ setting a variable to the contents of a binary file. exit 0 Chapter 14. Command Substitution 238
Advanced Bash−Scripting Guide Notice that a buffer overrun does not occur. This is one instance where an interpreted language, such as Bash, provides more protection from programmer mistakes than a compiled language. Command substitution permits setting a variable to the output of a loop. The key to this is grabbing the output of an echo command within the loop. Example 14−2. Generating a variable from a loop #!/bin/bash # csubloop.sh: Setting a variable to the output of a loop. variable1=`for i in 1 2 3 4 5 do echo −n "$i" done` # The 'echo' command is critical #+ to command substitution. echo "variable1 = $variable1" # variable1 = 12345 i=0 variable2=`while [ "$i" −lt 10 ] do echo −n "$i" # Again, the necessary 'echo'. let "i += 1" # Increment. done` echo "variable2 = $variable2" # variable2 = 0123456789 exit 0 Command substitution makes it possible to extend the toolset available to Bash. It is simply a matter of writing a program or script that outputs to stdout (like a well−behaved UNIX tool should) and assigning that output to a variable. #include /* "Hello, world." C program */ int main() { printf( "Hello, world." ); return (0); } bash$ gcc −o hello hello.c #!/bin/bash # hello.sh greeting=`./hello` echo $greeting Chapter 14. Command Substitution 239
