Any ideas? I am attempting to write a script that uses sed.
If done this way it fails
- rmdec=“sed ‘s/…$//’”
- i1xmr=$(echo “$i1p/$apiresponse*1000” |bc -l |$rmdec)
But if i do it this way it works
- i1xmr=$(echo “$i1p/$apiresponse*1000” |bc -l | sed ‘s/…$//’)
I have never used cat like that before. If you just ent cat abcd > file it says abcd doesnt exist but does create “file”. I know you can cat contents of a file into another file but why the <<-EOF > file works is a bit beyond me.
catdoes not createfile, your shell does when you redirect the standard output with> file.
