for ((i=1;i<=17;i+=1)) do option=`more test.txt|awk -F' ' '{ print $'$i'}'` echo $option done
I an working on a script that asks for user to select functions using a kdialog checklist. The selected options are then processed.
I have pushed all of the output from the kdialog into a temporary file (for testing - later I plan to cram it into a var)
There are 17 items on the list. I need the code to awk the list 17 times using a different position each time so that each item that is checked can be done. My biggest challenge is getting the awk { print $x} where x is increased by one each time the for loop runs. Thanks for your help
