Heyas
Figured me had a 'typo' in tui-conf-set, i went to fix it.
Now, i also figured, it might be nice to have tui-conf-set report (to console, not only exit code) wether it could save the variable to the file or not.
This said, I appended this code: (the tui-title and tui-echo lines are just for debuging)
# Return true if replaced string was found
if $GREP $Q "$str_checker" "$CONFFILE"
then # Success, visual-report only if verbose is enabled
tui-title DEBUG-start
tui-echo "Some value for \"$USER\" to compare in ${PWD} on ${HOSTNAME/*.}"
tui-echo "$VARNAME"
tui-echo "$VALUE"
tui-echo "\"$str_checker\" as \"$VARNAME\"."
tui-echo "\"$VALUE\" as \"$VARNAME\"."
tui-echo "$VALUE as $VARNAME."
tui-title DEBUG-stop
$beVerbose && tui-status 0 "Saved \"$CONFFILE\""
exit 0
else # It failed, visual-report only if verbose
$beVerbose && tui-status 1 "Could not write to \"$CONFFILE\""
exit 1
fi
Which looks like:
+ bin $ $tcs -v $F/rpm.conf specfile "\\\$prj_path/\\\$prj_name.spec2"
++ echo 'specfile=$prj_path/$prj_name.spec2'
++ sed 's,\$,\\\$,g'
+ SEARCH='specfile=\$prj_path/\$prj_name.spec2'
+ true
+ cmd='sed s,"specfile=\$prj_path/\$prj_name.spec2","specfile="\$prj_path/\$prj_name.spec2"",g -i /home/sea/.config/dev-scripts/prjs/st/rpm.conf'
+ eval 'sed s,"specfile=\$prj_path/\$prj_name.spec2","specfile="\$prj_path/\$prj_name.spec2"",g -i /home/sea/.config/dev-scripts/prjs/st/rpm.conf'
++ sed 's,specfile=$prj_path/$prj_name.spec2,specfile=$prj_path/$prj_name.spec2,g' -i /home/sea/.config/dev-scripts/prjs/st/rpm.conf
++ echo '\$prj_path/\$prj_name.spec2'
++ sed 's,\\\$,$,g'
+ str_checker='$prj_path/$prj_name.spec2'
+ set +x
# | DEBUG-start | #

# | \$prj_path/\$prj_name.spec2 as specfile.\ | #
# | DEBUG-stop | #

Which doesnt look 'that' bad, but if you place this output in a terminal window, its quite annoying, please see the attachment.
The script is working, as it actualy saves or changes the passed value of a variable into the file, regardless of plaintext, variables or escaped variables.
Just when i enable verbose mode, to display wether or not the file could be written, ti 'display' fails due to an additional char/symbol i have no idea from where it is comming.
My assumption was, since special chars are passed (\ and $), it also invokes the change from $ to \$ (marked that section bold), and for some reason it appens a \ to the EOL sign $ , but since its the EOL-sign (within a variable), one only char seen is \ .
This theory is destroyed, as that variable is at the end of the output string seen in above text example.
The code below is prior to the finalcheck code from above:
CONFFILE="$1"
VARNAME="$2"
VALUE="$3"
# File does not exist yet
if [ ! -f "$CONFFILE" ]
then tui-bol-dir "$(dirname $CONFFILE)" || exit 1
touch "$CONFFILE"
fi
#
# Preformat strings
#
SEARCH="$( $GREP $OPT -v ^# "$CONFFILE"|$GREP "${VARNAME}=")" #|tr -d '[[:space:]]')"
SEARCH="$(echo $SEARCH|$SED -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//')"
# Apply options
$SMALL && VARNAME="${VARNAME,,}" && VALUE="${VALUE,,}"
$CAPS && VARNAME="${VARNAME^^}" && VALUE="${VALUE^^}"
# Check for quotes
printf "$VALUE"|$GREP $Q [\ \$] && \
REPLACE="$VARNAME=\"$VALUE\"" || \
REPLACE="$VARNAME=$VALUE"
# Set proper SED 'divider'
if echo "$VALUE"|$GREP $Q "$SD"
then # Coma was found
SD="/"
printf "$REPLACE"|$GREP "$SD"|$GREP -q '\\' && SD="\\" # backslash was found
[ ! "$SD" = "/" ] && \
printf "$REPLACE"|$GREP ","|$GREP "$SD"|$GREP -q "/" && SD="|" # Forward slash was found
fi
# Troubles with VARIABLES due to chars that need to be escaped
if echo "$REPLACE" | $GREP $Q '[%$+@\]'
then hadDollar=true
str_checker="$(echo $VALUE|$SED s,'\\\$','$',g)"
else str_checker="$VALUE"
fi
#
# Display & Action
#
# Save changes, Append or change var=value?
if ! $GREP "${VARNAME}=" "$CONFFILE" | $GREP $Q -v ^"#"
then # Its not there yet, just append it
if $hadDollar
then # It needs special treatement
echo "$(echo $REPLACE)" >> "$CONFFILE"
else # Easy handling
echo "${REPLACE}" >> "$CONFFILE"
fi
else # Its already there, handling according to special chars
set -x
SEARCH="$(echo $SEARCH|$SED s,'\$','\\\$',g)"
if $hadDollar
then # It needs special treatement
cmd="$SED s${SD}\"${SEARCH}\"${SD}\"${REPLACE}\"${SD}g -i $CONFFILE"
eval "$cmd"
else # It is simple to call
cmd="$SED s${SD}${SEARCH}${SD}${REPLACE}${SD}g -i $CONFFILE"
$cmd
fi
set +x
fi
Please, any ideas what/why its causing that backslash?
Thank you in advance.
NOTE:
With 'regular' (non-escaped) variables it works (the output between the DEBUG-st*) just fine too.
