Well, I've unravelled it a bit
tmax=0
while read a a t a # no need to use different names for dummy variables
do
t=${t//\./} # does a global character replace, just like adding 'g' to the end of a 'sed' expression.
[ "${t}" -gt "${tmax}" ] && tmax="${t}" # no need for an if ... fi for this
done < ./cputemp.log
echo "Max temp is: ${tmax::$[${#tmax}-1]}.${tmax:$[${#tmax}-1]}"
And since you're in the mood for tips, here's a few more:
You can replace basename with
${variable##*/}
The ## means to strip off from the beginning of $variable the longest
part that matches the string after the ##. In this case, that's a
wildcard and a '/' so matches all characters upto the last '/'.
You can replace dirname with
${variable%/*}
The % means to strip off from the end of $variable the shortest part
that matches the string after '%'. In this case, that's a '/' and a
wildcard and so matches from the last 'l' to the end of the string.
You can use
${variable//[[:digit:]]/}
to check if what's supposed to be a number really is:
if [ -n "${variable//[[:digit:]]/}" ]
then
echo "There's non-numeric characters in ${variable}"
fi
If you're doing some processing of files found using find, as I do when
transcoding flash videos to AVIs, you can use something like:
find -type f -name "*.flv" | \
while read inpname
do
outname="${inpname%.flv}.avi" # strip off the .flv extender and add .avi
outname="${dest_dir}/${outname##*/}" # now add the destination path and strip off the source path
ffmpeg -i "${inpname}" ${ffmpeg_options} "${outname}" && \
mv "${inpname}"{,old} # if the conversion worked, rename the source file so it doesn't get done again
done

David Bolt
