Backticks Inside Backticks

[kubabuk]

Guys, I'm trying to dynamically create the following command

opparm /out/test -v -p eframe ( `ch("../../img/all/all/f1")` )

to do that I using stringcat expression

opparm /out/test -v -p eframe ( `strcat(strcat("ch\(\"../..",chs("rop")),"\/f1\"\)")` )

But I get an error because it is not possible to have double back ticks. The problem is that I need one set of them otherwise my expression will not be evaluated. So the following doesn't work:

`strcat(strcat("\`ch\(\"../..",chs("rop")),"\/f1\"\)\`")`

simpler test doesn't work as well

echo `strcat("\`","test\`")`

Do you have any idea?

PS. probably answer is again pretty simple

thanks

Hi there,

The easiest solution is to break your break your command into two (and use varaibles).

So, first stash the evaluation of your deepest expression in a variable, and then use the variable in the our expression. Know what I mean?

set tmpvar = `firstexpression()`

`secondexpression( $tmpvar )`

- and thus avoid nested expressions:)

we should setup some game on it! Who will write more aesthetically pleasing piece of WORKING code

quite nice attempt Kuba!

That's a "side effect" of my recent work - definitely too much awk stuff recently
