I drafted this quick script up to support the query logic I wrote up yesterday.
This also serves as a good baseline example for doing a for-loop over a string array, string comparison using if statements, and also checking the length of a string.
declare -a VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST=()
VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST+=("0")
VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST+=("1")
VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST+=("2")
VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST+=("3")
VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST+=("4")
VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST+=("5")
VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST+=("6")
VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST+=("7")
VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST+=("8")
VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST+=("9")
VARIABLE_ROOT_VALUE="@message"
function getReplaceString()
{
VARIABLE_INPUT="$1"
VARIABLE_VALUE_TO_FIND="$2"
VARIABLE_VALUE_TO_REPLACE_WITH="$3"
echo "replace($VARIABLE_INPUT, \"$VARIABLE_VALUE_TO_FIND\", \"$VARIABLE_VALUE_TO_REPLACE_WITH\")"
}
function main()
{
VARIABLE_EXPRESSION_STRING=""
for VARIABLE_REPLACE_ENTRY in ${VARIABLE_REPLACE_LIST[@]};
do
LENGTH_OF_REPLACE_STRING="${#VARIABLE_EXPRESSION_STRING}"
if [[ "$LENGTH_OF_REPLACE_STRING" == "0" ]]; then
echo "VARIABLE_EXPRESSION_STRING is Empty - Setting to Initial Value..."
VARIABLE_EXPRESSION_STRING=$(getReplaceString "@message" "$VARIABLE_REPLACE_ENTRY" "")
else
echo "VARIABLE_EXPRESSION_STRING is Not Empty - Doing logic..."
VARIABLE_EXPRESSION_STRING=$(getReplaceString "$VARIABLE_EXPRESSION_STRING" "$VARIABLE_REPLACE_ENTRY" "")
fi
echo "VARIABLE_EXPRESSION_STRING Current Value = $VARIABLE_EXPRESSION_STRING"
done
}
main
