Let’s say you have a bash variable:
x=abc123def
And you want to get everything in the substring that comes before “def.” You can use awk to do this, but it’s a bit “awk”ward (though very flexible and powerful in general). An easy solution is to do the following:
y=${x%def*}
echo $y # Should print "abc123"
This approach should work on [...] Read more »
Say you have a variable in a bash script that looks like this:
x="abc_123_def"

These vectors have different ranges, but you believe they actually should have the same range. This scenario probably sounds strange, but it can happen, for example, in cases where genetic data [...] Read more »
