I created a batch script for windows that I use for mux mkv files.
When launch this command:
ffprobe -v 0 -select_streams s -show_entries stream=index:disposition=default -of compact=nk=0 file.mkv | findstr disposition:default=1
Output is:
stream|index=3|disposition:default=1
How can filter and print only number "3" and put it in a variable?
I submit a new command that simplify output:
ffprobe -v 0 -select_streams s -show_entries stream=index:disposition=forced:stream_tags=language -of csv=nk=1:p=0 file.mkv | FINDSTR /C:"1,ita"
Output is:
3,1,ita
"3" is track id, "1" is forced flag, "ita" is track language. To create a variable that contains only the track id (e.g. 3) to be inserted in a mkvmerge command, I ran this command:
FOR /F "delims=, tokens=1" %%# IN ('ffprobe -v 0 -select_streams s -show_entries stream=index:disposition=forced:stream_tags=language -of csv=nk=1:p=0 file.mkv ^| FINDSTR /C:"1,ita"') DO SET subid=%%#
But nothing happens! Mkvmerge report this error: Error: Invalid track ID or language code in '-s '.
I don't really know where the mistake is!
Batchfile approach
You need to execute your command inside a for statement inside a batch file to be able to capture the output lines and process them further. Check for /? on the command line and the part with for /f and learn about "usebackq".
The key point is, that you need to escape several special characters from your command, if it is executed in the for statement and not on the command line prompt directly.
Try getting this piece to work and post your solution as update to your answer if you like. Then we can get to the second part of extracting the number.

I want to insert a line "new line" into a file "Textfile.txt" at line number 3 in AIX.
Before insertion Textfile.txt looks like
one
two
four
After Insertion Textfile.txt looks like
one
two
new line
four
I have already done it on Linux how ever with AIX I am finding it not working with solution of Linux.
Surprisingly I couldn't find a simple solution for this problem anywhere.
I am using this command in Linux and is working
echo "target_node = ${arr[0]}"
echo "target_file = ${arr[1]}"
echo "target_line = ${arr[2]}"
echo "target_text = ${arr[3]}"
escape "$(ssh -f ${arr[0]} "sed -i "${arr[2]}i$(escape ${arr[3]})" ${arr[1]}; exit")"
To sum the previous bits of information written as comments:
Option -i doesn't exist in AIX!sed, use a temporary file; the syntax of command is more strict than in Linux.
sed '2a\
Insert this after the 2nd line' "$target_file" >"$target_file.tmp"
mv -- "$target_file.tmp" "$target_file"
Hi Thanks for the help,
I created script in such a way that it copies the file to linux update changes and movies to AIX.
I need a batch command to return everything until after a certain substring.
What I mean, is when I have a string like this: "Hi! How are you doing? I don't care!!!!!" I can execute a command that gives me everything until after "?".
I looked around the web and didn't find anything that I wanted. I found one method that took everything until after a substring and changed it:
set name=123456789
set blablabla=%name:*5=5%
This returns "56789" to the variable blablabla. The strings in my program are not going to be specific, so this won't work.
Thank you for any help!
Use sed and regular expressions:
$ string1='Hello my name is Foobar? What do I care!'
$ string2=$(echo $string1 | sed 's/^.*\? //')
$ echo $string2
What do I care!
I have not understood your requirements fully. But I think PowerShell is a better option for this. However, you can use following script to get all characters upto given delimiter.
#echo off
set delim=%1
set input=%2
for /f "delims=%upto%" %%i in ("%input%") do (
echo %i
goto :eof
)
Sample run command:
stringupto.bat 5 123456789
Output:
1234
Im having an issue writing a DCL in OpenVMS in that I need the DCL to call a command and capture its output (but not output the output to the screen) Later on in the DCL I then need to print that output I stored.
Heres an example:
ICE SET FASTER !This command sets my environment to the "Faster" environment.
The above command outputs this if executed directly in OpenVMS:
Initialising TEST Environment to FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Test Search rules FASTER
Using Test Search rules FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dcl>
So I created a DCL in an attempt to wrap this output in order to display a more simplified output. Heres my code so far:
!************************************************************************
$ !* Wrapper for setting ICE account. Outputs Environment
$ !************************************************************************
$ on error then goto ABORT_PROCESS
$ICE_DCL_MAIN:
$ ice set 'P1'
$ ICE SHOW
$ EXIT
$ABORT_PROCESS:
$ say "Error ICING to: " + P1
$ EXIT 2
[End of file]
In the lines above ICE SET 'P1' is setting the ice environment, but I dont want this output to be echoed to VMS. But what I do want is to write the output of $ICE SHOW into a variable and then echo that out later on in the DCL (most of which ive omitted for simplification purposes)
So what should be outputted should be:
current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]
Instead of:
Initialising TEST Environment to FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Test Search rules FASTER
Using Test Search rules FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]
Ive had a look through the manual and im getting a bit confused so I figured I tried here. Id appreciate any pointers. Thanks.
EDIT
Here is what ive come up with after the comments, the problem im having is when I connect to VMS using an emulator such as SecureCRT the correct output is echoed. But when I run the DCL via my SSH2 library in .NET it doesnt output anything. I guess thats because it closes the SYS$OUTPUT stream temporarily or something?
$ !************************************************************************
$ !* Wrapper for setting ICE account. Outputs Environment
$ !************************************************************************
$ on error then goto ABORT_PROCESS
$ICE_DCL_MAIN:
$ DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT NL:
$ ice set 'P1'
$ DEASSIGN SYS$OUTPUT
$ ice show
$ EXIT
$ABORT_PROCESS:
$ say "Error ICING to: " + P1
$ EXIT 2
[End of file]
EDIT 2
So I guess really I need to clarify what im trying to do here. Blocking the output doesnt so matter so much, im merely trying to capture it into a Symbol for example.
So in C# for example you can have a method that returns a string. So you'd have string myResult = vms.ICETo("FASTER"); and it would return that and store it in the variable.
I guess im looking for a similar thing in VMS so that once ive iced to the environment I can call:
$ environment == $ICE SHOW
But I of course get errors with that statement
The command $ assign/user_mode Thing Sys$Output will cause output to be redirected to Thing until you $ deassign/user_mode Sys$Output or next executable image exits. An assignment without the /USER_MODE qualifier will persist until deassigned.
Thing can be a logical name, a file specification (LOG.TXT) or the null device (NLA0:) if you simply want to flush the output.
When a command procedure is executed the output can be redirected using an /OUTPUT qualifier, e.g. $ #FOO/output=LOG.TXT.
And then there is piping ... .
You can redirect the output to a temp file and then print its content later:
$ pipe write sys$output "hi" > tmp.tmp
$ ty tmp.tmp
VMS is not Unix, DCL is not Bash: you can not easily set a DCL symbol from the output of a command.
Your ICE SHOW prints one line, correct? The first word is always "current", correct?
So you can create a hack.
First let me fake your ICE command:
$ create ice.com
$ write sys$output "current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]"
^Z
$
and I define a dcl$path pointing to the directory where this command procedure is
so that I can use/fake the command ICE
$ define dcl$path sys$disk[]
$ ice show
current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]
$
Now what you need, create a command procedure which sets a job logical
$ cre deflog.com
$ def/job/nolog mylog "current''p1'"
^Z
$
And I define a command "current" to run that command procedure:
$ current="#deflog """
Yes, you need three of the double quotes at the end of the line!
And finally:
$ pipe (ice show | #sys$pipe) && mysym="''f$log("mylog")'"
$ sh symb mysym
MYSYM = "current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]"
$
On the other hand, I don't know what you are referring to C# and Java. Can you elaborate on that and tell us what runs where?
You can try using: DEFINE /USER SYS$OUTPUT NL:.
It works only for the next command and you dont need to deassign.
Sharing some of my experience here. I used below methods to redirect outputs to files.
Define/Assign the user output and then execute the required command/script afterwards. Output will be written to .
$define /user sys$output <file_path>
execute your command/script
OR
assign /user <file_path> sys$output
execute your command/script
deassign sys$output
To re-direct in to null device like in Unix (mentioned in above answers), you can use 'nl:' instead of
define /user sys$output nl:
or
assign /user nl: sys$output
I want to run a SQL code using shell script and return the message whether the SQL query executed successfully or not. For this I have used unix script given below.
#!/bin/sh
sqlplus -S hr/hr#xe<<EOF
#emp.sql
EOF
var1=$(cat /cygdrive/d/scripts/output.txt | grep -c 'COUNT')
if [ $var1 -ge 1 ];
then
echo "success"
else
echo "failure"
fi
exit;
and emp.sql(called sql file) as
SET ECHO OFF
SPOOL D:\scripts\output.txt
SET LINESIZE 100
SET PAGESIZE 50
SELECT count(*) FROM employees;
SPOOL OFF;
EXIT 0;
When I execute the script I am getting output as
COUNT(*)
----------
107
./script1.sh: line 13: syntax error: unexpected end of file.
I don't know where I should put EOF statement exactly. Also I am not getting the status message whether it is success or failure which I want as output. Please help. Thanks in advance
SPOOL D:\scripts\output.txt Isnt this windows way of referring to a file where as in the shell script you referred to the file as /cygdrive/d/scripts/output.txt. I assume you are using linux shell to execute so I executed your script changing the spool line in sql file. It worked fine.
Edit: Also the \ that you used, for the spooled output.txt path, will cause the sqlplus to terminate. Hence the error line 13: syntax error: unexpected end of file. Perhaps add quotes to the path or use the same file path as you used in shell
I have a pig script where in the beginning I would like to generate a string of the dates of the past 7 days from a certain date (later used to retrieve log files for those days).
I attempt to do this with this line:
%declare CMD7 input= ; for i in {1..6}; do d=$(date -d "$DATE -i days" "+%Y-%m-%d"); input="\$input\$d,"; done; echo \$input
I get an error :
" ERROR 2999: Unexpected internal error. Error executing shell command: input= ; for i in {1..6}; do d=$(date -d "2012-07-10 -i days" "+%Y-%m-%d"); input="$input$d,"; done;. Command exit with exit code of 127"
however the shell command runs perfectly fine outside of pig. I am really not sure what is going wrong here.
Thank you!
I have got a working solution but not as streamlined as you want, essentially I don't manage to get Pig to execute a complex shell statement in the declare.
I first wrote a shell script (let's call it 6-days-back-from.sh):
#!/bin/bash
DATE=$1
for i in {1..6}; do d=$( date -d "$DATE -$i days" +%F ) ; echo -n "$d "; done
Then a pig script as follow (let's call it days.pig):
%declare my_date `./6-days-back-from.sh $DATE`
A = LOAD 'dual' USING PigStorage();
B = FOREACH A GENERATE '$my_date';
DUMP B
note that dual is a directory containing a text file with a single line of text, for the purpose of displaying our variable
I called the script as follow:
pig -x local -param DATE="2012-08-03" days.pig
and got the following output:
({(2012-08-02),(2012-08-01),(2012-07-31),(2012-07-30),(2012-07-29),(2012-07-28)})
