So I am trying this inside a text doc in TM with no success. What's wrong ??
TM_PROJ_FILEPATH=`$TM_FILEPATH | sed "s|^$TM_SITES_DIRECTORY(.*)$|\1|"` echo $TM_PROJ_FILEPATH /bin/sh: line 1: /Volumes/WorkDisk/Users/mats/Sites/projectName/index.php: Permission denied
You need to put 'echo' before '$TM_FILEPATH'. So it should be: TM_PROJ_FILEPATH=`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed "s|^$TM_SITES_DIRECTORY(.*)$|\1|"` echo $TM_PROJ_FILEPATH
Stuff in `...` is executed as a command. $TM_FILEPATH expands to the file path, so doing `$TM_FILEPATH` alone would try to execute the file. Doing `echo $TM_FILEPATH` instead will echo (print) it. Of course we add `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed ...` to run sed on the result, to replace the path prefix. The | char means take output from the command on the left side and use as input for the command on the right side.
Not sure how much shell stuff you know!?!
Perhaps I could suggest that you guys who know and understand this stuff could create a ShellScriptCorner on the wiki where you could translate the incomprehensible stuff into examples and ENGLISH for us non-geek's. Because the writers of man files and online UNIX guides sure as hell hasn't.
It's a good idea, though personally I'm probably better at answering concrete questions than writing general tutorials/documentation.
Kind regards Allan
