Hello,
I try to run the following script on the latest Cygwin (updated yesterday) on
Windows XP SP3:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
data=$(cat <<'EOF'
Date valeur;Reference de l'operation;Description;Montant de
l'operation;Devise;Date d'operation;Compte de contrepartie;Nom de la
contrepartie :;Communication 1 :;Communication 2 :
04-06-2009;A9F04NT01WK300TG;Virem.
internet;420,00;EUR;04-06-2009;799-5900947-23;PAYEE ONE; ;
24-02-2009;A9B24NT012K4018Z;Virem.
internet;-54,93;EUR;24-02-2009;799-9974005-30;ME;Eigen rekening;
18-05-2008;A8E19NT000S604QI;Virem.
internet;-1.000,00;EUR;19-05-2008;799-8068445-18;PAYEE TWO; ;
EOF
)
echo "$data"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Note -- Of course, the goal is not to simply echo the data, but to process
it through pipes, such as: echo "$data" | grep "PAYEE ONE".
but it fails with the following error:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sh: line 2: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
sh: line 10: syntax error: unexpected end of file
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is due to the apostrophe in the French labels (of the header line of this
Excel CSV file) -- but people report me that exact same script works under
Linux...
Any idea on how to:
- circumvent this problem?
- or, eventually, do this better?
Best regards,
Fabrice Niessen
