Hello,
I have an scripting "inconvenience" I could not find a solution so far. Any
advice is appreciated.
Basically, I am capturing the output of a program and I am losing the newlines
in the process. I would like to keep them though, otherwise the output is hard
to read.
Here are the relevant lines:
rcsdiffmsg=$(/usr/bin/rcsdiff $targetfile)
cimsg=$(/bin/echo -e "$logmsg" | /usr/bin/ci -l $targetfile 2>&1)
logmsg="\n
#-------------------------------------------------------\n
Date: `/bin/date`\n
File: $filepath [$1]\n
Pwd: `pwd`\n
$logmsg\n
\n
$cimsg\n
\n
$rcsdiffmsg\n
#-------------------------------------------------------\n
"
/bin/echo -e $logmsg >> $LOGFILE
/bin/echo -e $logmsg | /usr/bin/mailx root -s "Change to: $filepath [$1]"
And the result, from either the file or email:
/avi.store/sbin/avi.sh,v <-- /avi.store/sbin/avi.sh new revision: 1.10;
previous revision: 1.9 done
4c4 < # $Id: avi.sh,v 1.9 2009/11/06 01:53:01 root Exp root $ --- > # $Id: $
91c91 < cimsg=`/bin/echo -e "$logmsg" | /usr/bin/ci -l $targetfile 2>&1` --- >
cimsg=$(/bin/echo -e "$logmsg" | /usr/bin/ci -l $targetfile 2>&1)
Thanks,
a.
