Can I use while and source in the bash script?

  • 772

I have this script, it's cut down, but fine for this example:

#!/bin/bash

source /home/user/configs/config-file

while read host; do

find /home/user/configs/$host.cfg -type f -exec sed -i 's/value=./#value= /g' {} \;

echo "value="$value >> /home/user/configs/$host.cfg

done < hosts.list

The hosts.list file contains a list of hostnames

XYZ123
ABC567
LIN999

etc. The config-file contains entires like:

value=ZZZZZZZ
othervalue=YYYYYYY
3rdvalue=XXXXXXX

Full script makes use of all values, this example just uses value Hope that make sense.

Running this script creates a file with each hostname from the hosts.list file, but with a ? at the end, so one would look like XYZ123?.cfg During the run process I see:

find: â/home/user/configs/XYZ123\r.cfgâ: No such file or directory
bash
