I am trying to create following string
Beta-3.8.0
but shell script always omits the .
period char no matter what I do.
echo "$readVersion"
if [ -z $readVersion ]
then
echo "readVersion is empty"
exit 1
fi;
IFS=.
set $readVersion
newVersion=$(echo "$2 + 1" | bc)
newBranch="Beta-$1.$newVersion.$3"
echo $newBranch
prints:
3.8.0
Beta-3 9 0
I have also tried
newBranch='Beta-'$1'.'$newVersion'.'$3
or
newBranch="Beta-{$1}.{$newVersion}.{$3}"
although this seems printing the right value echo "$1.$newVersion.$3"
why not variable doesnt work ?
I need the variable to use later on in the script...
You can save and restore the IFS
once you are done.
oldIFS=$IFS
IFS=.
set $readVersion
newVersion=$(echo "$2 + 1" | bc)
IFS=$oldIFS
newBranch="Beta-$1.$newVersion.$3"
echo "$newBranch"
Or you can quote when printing:
echo "$newBranch"
The former is a better idea IMO since it conveys your intention and would make the rest of the code use the "correct" IFS. The latter just circumvents the problem.
