actually I user double quotes in th ebash script which requires me to pu \$1 to avoid $1 to be replaced by the shell

Ah yes, you are quite right. I have to agree with brother jcb that using a one-liner for this, especially with double quotes, is just asking for trouble and will be a maintenance nightmare. Just put it all in a script and then you won't have to worry about escaping everything. Eventually, when you become more familiar with Perl and what it can do you may see the benefit in replacing all of the bash parts with Perl.

There's a place for one-liners but this doesn't look like that place to me.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
