Re: [Flightgear-devel] Parking position names with spaces, a problem?

I think it's impracticable to force every parking position name worldwide not to have spaces, especially since it may be just a name and not an index or logical identifier (What's in a name ? ;-) Proper quoting should solve most space-related issues in shell scripts and if this still fails, like in a for-loop, try to insert some unique character and remove it with 'sed' later, when you're actually writing the config file.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Parking position names with spaces, a problem?
Hi Martin, okay, I already have an idea, freely from my mind: $ sed s/\ /FGFS_LAUNCHER_SPACE/ If that is working, I think no parking lot will be named with that. :) Regards, Roland On Fri, 2011-04-08 at 18:51 +, Martin Spott wrote: Hi Roland, Roland Häder wrote: Can those spaced names be fixed e.g. to names with underscores?

Hi all,
for example the airport LFPG has a parking position with a name with
spaces in it. My little launcher script [1] does currently not support
this because of a for() loop will break those spaces into seperate
lines.
Assume that ${OPTIONS} is the list of command-line parmeters (I know, I
should rename that):
-- Snip
# Flushs all options to ~/.fgfsrc
fgfs_flush_options() {
echo $0: Flushing options to ~/.fgfsrc ...
echo -n ${HOME}/.fgfsrc
for entry in ${OPTIONS}; do
echo ${entry} ${HOME}/.fgfsrc
done
}

If not, can I somehow support them in my script?
If you write OPTIONS as an array:
OPTIONS=( --airport=LFPG --parking='P 12' )
then you can write:
for option in ${OPTIONS[@]} ; do
printf %s\n $option
done ${HOME}/.fgfsrc
Now, while we get one option per line, we lose the quote in .fgfsrc.
If you need the quote there, then you may add them in a ad-hoc manner:
OPTIONS=( --airport=LFPG --parking='P 12' )
or you may quote systematically all the options you write:
for option in ${OPTIONS[@]} ; do
printf '%s'\n $option
done ${HOME}/.fgfsrc
but this would break if there is an option containing single quote.
To do the right thing, you have to know exactly how .fgfsrc is processed.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Parking position names with spaces, a problem?
Hi,
thanks for that valuable hint! I have rewritten my script to use arrays
(and encapsulated adding parameters to it). Now I just need to rewrite
multiple parameters to single... :(
Regards,
Roland
