into this

"wetnessWeightModifiers": 1,1,1.33,1.66,2

and preferably keep the decimals from the original "1.0,1.0,1.33,1.66,2.0" thank you so much for your assistance in advance.

Issue making JSON string

So I need to make a pure JSON string using a variable, and I'm bashing (no pun intended) my head against the wall trying to get the result I want:

The desired result looks like this:

'{"app":"app-version.tar","db":"db-version.tar"}'

The variable I have would contain the version info (so like, $VERSION), and I CANNOT get a proper JSON out of something like

'{"app":"app-'$VERSION'.tar","db":"db-'$VERSION'.tar"}'

Anyone able to help?


Edit: I also need to echo the EXACT string being generated at some earlier point as well, for making sure everything is correct.

remove "" char from filenames

Is there a way to save executed keyboard shortcuts from the cli to a file or to stdout?

Sometimes I'd be exploring the different keybinding I have and I accidentally pressed a combination (like Alt + U or I'd change from emacs to vim or whatever) but I wouldn't know what I'd press because I'm just messing around or I pressed this keyboard shortcut by accident.

Is there a way to output to stdout or save to a file that, for example, says I pressed alt + u and give a short denoscription that mentions I changed the text to upper case or I pressed ctrl + y and that yanks the line.

I accidentally fat finger my keyboard shortcuts all the time and I can't figure out what I just pressed. It would help me debug my keyboard shortcut and learn what I actually pressed.

A few common shell functions (cat, mktemp, wc -c, and sleep) re-implemented in pure bash

I re-implemented a few common shell functions (that dont bash builtins with equivalent functionality) in pure bash. Anyone else do this? Anyone have any to add?

My use case for these tends to be to use them as "backups" when I want a code to be able to run on an embedded machine that has bash but everything else is not guaranteed. i.e.,

type -p FUNC >&/dev/null || {
FUNC() {
...
}
}

Here are the re-implemented functions. Each has a quick test along with it to ensure it is working. The functionality is not always an exact match to the original (not all flags are implemented...just the core functionality). But, for what is implemented it should (I think) be a drop-in replacement.

mktemp() {
local tmpFile

# generate tempfile name, and repeat until we get one that doesnt exist.
tmpFile=/tmp/.tmp.${RANDOM}
while [ -f "$tmpFile" ]; do
tmpFile=/tmp/.tmp.${RANDOM}
done

# touch tmpfile then echo its path
touch "${tmpFile}"
echo "${tmpFile}"
}

# test mktemp
file="$(mktemp)"
[ -f "${file}" ] && echo "tmpfile exists" >&2
echo


cat() {
if [ -t 0 ] && [ $# == 0 ]; then
# no input
return
elif [ $# == 0 ]; then
# only stdin
printf '%s\n' "$(</proc/self/fd/0)"
elif [ -t 0 ]; then

else
# both stdin and function inputs. fork printing stdin.
{ printf '%s\n' "$(</proc/self/fd/0)" >&9 & } 9>&1
source <(printf 'echo '; printf '"$(<"%s")" ' "$@"; printf '\n')
fi
}

# test cat
printf '%s\n' hi bye > "${file}"
printf '%s\n' hola adios | cat "${file}"

wc() {
# only char/byte count (-c flag) implemented

# check for no input case
[ -t 0 ] && [ $# == 0 ] && return

# make tmpfile
local tmpFile fd waitFlag
tmpFile="$(mktemp)"

(
waitFlag=false

# add stdin, if anything is there
[ -t 0 ] || {

# if we also are adding files then fork adding stdin
waitFlag=true

}

# wait for forked cat of stdin (if needed)

# get the current position of fd

echo "${REPLY##$'\t'}"

) {fd}>>"${tmpFile}"

# remove tmpfile

Deferring process substitution

So here is a very basic example of process substitution:

bash --init-file <(echo "echo 4")

This will result in the number 4 being printed at the onset of a new bash session. However, in the following case, the number is not printed:

docker exec -it ubuntu_container bash --init-file <(echo "echo 4")

For anyone unfamiliar, this command connects to an existing docker container named 'ubuntu_container' and executes the bash command. Although this successfully results in starting a bash session within the container, the number 4 is not printed.

My best guess is that the process substitution executes immediately, resulting in a filepath that is valid outside the container, but invalid within the container. Thus it cannot be used when starting a bash session inside the container.

Does anyone know of a way to get this second example to work? My topic noscript refers to 'deferring' the process substitution because if I could defer it until after entering the docker container, I believe everything would work.

Thank you.

(EDIT: For anyone curious, what I'm actually trying to do is to launch bash inside a docker container with a custom prompt by setting the PS1 environmental variable.)

Help with basic folder perms (beginner)

Hey !
Im kinda new to bash, and im having a pretty basic problem here.
I have a minecraft server that restart, calling start.sh on restart.


When my ssh user do a bash start.sh, it works fine.
However, when the server execute it itself, the first instructions dont execute.
I'm pretty certain its a permission problem, but i cant figure why, because it should be accessible by everyone (first pic), and somehow, when the server restarts, the perms change (second pic)
Here is the bash i execute.



rm -r ./world
sleep 3

unzip -o lobby.zip -d world

sleep 3
java -Xmx3G -jar paper.jar #This get executed anyway


(sorry if there is code blocs, i dont know how)

How to remove single new lines from the end of a line in a text file, but ignore double new lines

I have been tearing my hair out trying to process some text files that have too many new lines.

I have a text file that look s something like this:

The quick brown fox jumps Over the
lazy dog. The quick brown fox.

The quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog.

I want to remove the single newlines but ignore the doubles.

In a text editor I can find and place using regex like this:

Find: \n(?!\n) Replace with: <space>

But I have a bunch of files, so I’m looking for a way I can create a noscript to do it.

I’ve tried see/gsed, but it is ignoring my regular expressions, even with the -E option. Even a simple search for a newline fails:

sed -i -E 's/\n/ /g' test.txt

Does anyone have a solution?

Many thanks.

Is the -f in rm -rf a bit useless?

There's a lot of jokes about rm -rf but if the directory doesn't exist and you run rm -r, it would throw an error, no big deal.

But if it does exist and we run rm -r then it deletes the directory recursively. As a standalone command rm -rfdoesn't seem that much different from rm -r. So maybe I don't understand the joke about rm -rf but rm -r should be good enough? I mean we obviously can't delete something that doesn't exist and -f just suppresses that error message. The importance of -f seems to be overstated?

Monitor text file and run command on change?

I'm writing a now-playing Spotify noscript with semi cool formating...
When I ask playerctl for metadata I get a mpris:length (with a number) line, among the others.
I am currently giving that (number) to a Var and checking it every second and then re-running the noscript on change.
I read about a tool that can watch a file and run a command on change of file. I just can't remember what it was. I was thinking I could put the length into a txt file and watch it.


Is it worth using this other tool (that some great haxor will name) to watch the file?
I'm trying to lower system resource use of course.
