Re: [TxMt] how to concatenate templates ?

thanks, concatenating now works great, but the variables TM_YEAR and TM_DATE don't get passed anymore to the template !!

Ah, because they now get set for “cat” rather than “perl”.

So this would be a way to set them for “perl” instead:

if [[ ! -f "$TM_NEW_FILE" ]]; then cat template_in.txt License.txt \ |TM_YEAR=`date +%Y` TM_DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d` \ perl -pe 's/${([^}]*)}/$ENV{$1}/g' > "$TM_NEW_FILE" fi

A perhaps simpler approach is to export them (to all commands):

if [[ ! -f "$TM_NEW_FILE" ]]; then export TM_YEAR=`date +%Y` export TM_DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d` cat template_in.txt License.txt \ |perl -pe 's/${([^}]*)}/$ENV{$1}/g' > "$TM_NEW_FILE" fi
