Hi

I am trying to get rid of " " in a txt file with sed

although can't get it to work...(i am not very experinced with sed)

anyway, I have a txt file whic looks like this:

"hi" "there" "we" "like" "sed
and I wanna separate everythng so that i can get an output like
hi

there

and so on...

anyone who knows sed that can help me?

solved it yself...there were some other errors fooling me

test=`sed 's|"||g' /tmp/.pkglist | awk '{ print $1 }'`

echo "hola" "adios"|sed 's/" *"/n/'

or

echo '"i" "like" "sed" "more"' | sed "s#"##g" | sed "s# #n#g"
i
like
sed
more

:-)

what if "i like" "sed more"? mine was incomplete, just a show of how to use it

thanks guys

I have solved that part now...now there are some other problems, but hey, I will take that later :

ok, so I have some more problems, not sure wheter they are related to my sed or not

*snippet*

test="/home/cybertron/gui/cat.list"
    LIST=`cat $test`

#    for app in `cat $PKGS | sed 's|/.*$||g' | uniq` ; do
for app in `sed 's/"//g' $PKGS`; do
        CHKLIST="$CHKLIST $app $LIST ON"
    done

*/end of snippet*
I have two files, pkg.list and cat.list

what I want is to have my dialog --checklist to show things like this:

[x] program description

whereas program is my pkg.list and description is cat.list

hopefully you understand what I am trying to do?!!

Not entirely sure I understand this but I think you're looking for the 'paste' command which writes corresponding lines of multiple files to one output line. For example:

> cat -n f1
     1  f1l1
     2  f1l2
     3  f1l3

> cat -n f2
     1  f2l1
     2  f2l2
     3  f2l3

> paste -d' ' f1 f2 | cat -n
     1  f1l1 f2l1
     2  f1l2 f2l2
     3  f1l3 f2l3

Hope that helps!

that sounds like something I can use
I will most certainly try it

thanks !

Update: Doesn't quite do what I want,

I insert my whole code in here:

# INSTEAD OF SHOWING "INSTALL" in the dialog --checklist i wannt it to have a description, how this is done, I don't know...maybe someone does?!

select_install()
{
    dodialog msgbox "In the next stage you are going to choose which packages to install, recommendation is that you install all packages." 18 70
    CHKLIST=
    if [ "$MODE" = "install" ]; then
        PKGS=$PKGS_PATH
    fi
# INSTEAD OF SHOWING "INSTALL" in the dialog --checklist i wannt it to have a description, how this is done, I don't know...maybe someone does?!

    for app in `sed 's|"||g' $PKGS | awk '{ print $1 }'`; do
        CHKLIST="$CHKLIST $app INSTALL ON"
    done
    
    if [ -e /tmp/.pkglist ]; then 
    rm /tmp/.pkglist
    fi

    domenu checklist "Select Packages" 19 55 12 $CHKLIST 2>/tmp/.pkglist || return 1
        
    if [ $? == 0 ]; then
    install
    else
    mainmenu
    fi
}
