Reading a config file from a shell script
I am looking for a shell script analog to something like Pythons's ConfigParser or Perl's Config::INI. I have sourced files in the past to accomplish this, but I'd prefer to read rather than execute my "config file". Does 开发者_C百科anyone know of anything comparable to the above modules available for shell (or bash) scripts?
Thanks, Jerry
You don't want source it, so you should:
1.read the config, 2.verify lines 3.eval them
CONFIGFILE="/path/to/config"
echo "=$ADMIN= =$TODO= =$FILE=" #these variables are not defined here
eval $(sed '/:/!d;/^ *#/d;s/:/ /;' < "$CONFIGFILE" | while read -r key val
do
#verify here
#...
str="$key='$val'"
echo "$str"
done)
echo =$ADMIN= =$TODO= =$FILE= #here are defined
sample of config file
ADMIN: root
TODO: delete
var=badly_formtatted_line_without_colon
#comment
FILE: /path/to/file
if you run the above sample should get (not tested):
== == ==
=root= =delete= =/path/to/file=
sure this is not the best solution - maybe someone post a nicer one.
You might want to take a look at cfget
which can be installed with sudo apt-get install cfget
.

## sample INI file save below to a file, replace "^I" with tab

grep
based alternative seems to be more readable:
CONFIG_FILE='/your/config/file.ini'
eval $(grep '^\[\|^#' CONFIG_FILE -v | while read line
do echo $line
done)
Where:
-v
grep option means exclude matching lines^\[\|^#
selects all lines which starts with[
or#
(configparser sections and comments)
It will work ONLY if your config file doesn't have spaces around =
(if you would like to generate config with Python use space_around_delimiters=False
see https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html#configparser.ConfigParser.write)
Supported config example:
FIRST_VAR="a"
[lines started with [ will be ignored]
secondvar="b"
# some comment
anotherVar="c"
You can use bash it-self to interpret ini values, by:
$ source <(grep = file.ini)
Sample file:
[section-a]
var1=value1
var2=value2
See more examples: How do I grab an INI value within a shell script?
Or you can use bash ini-parser which can be found at The Old School DevOps blog site.
