Thanks but I need a little more help.

What would the correct syntax be?
I am trying to write script to insert rules into PF firewall
on 5.4. using pf anchors.
Hello,
The problem here is that
num_ip="(printf $raw_ip | sed 's/\.//g')"
makes num_ip equal to
(printf $raw_ip | sed 's/\.//g')
instead of its output.
To assign the output of a command use "`":
num_ip=`(printf $raw_ip | sed 's/\.//g')`
Also the subshell (the "()") is not needed:
num_ip=`printf $raw_ip | sed 's/\.//g'`
Hope that helps.
Best Regards,
Ale
Thanks that was just what I needed. Now building on that I tried
this
std_text='No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled'
ret_ob=`(echo $outrule) | pfctl -a doorman_ob:$session_name_ob -f -
2>&1`
ret_ob=`printf $ret_ob | sed 's/\$std_text//g'`
The goal here is to remove the std_text from the output of the
pftctl command.
I get this error "printf missing format character"
Does sed need different syntax or have I got it all wrong?
printf needs " surrounding the arguments:
printf "$ret_ob"
is the right syntax...
