How could I extract the username and password from a properties file, test_properties.sh
, shown below:
#!/bin/bash
# Various irrelevant stuff
https_proxy="http://username:password@proxy-host:port"
such that I'd end up with two variables, e.g. proxy_user=username
and proxy_pw=password
?
Thanks in advance.
Combining read
and awk
you could do something like this:
$ https_proxy="$(grep "https_proxy" test_properties.sh | cut -d'=' -f2-)"
$ read -r proxy_user proxy_password <<<$(awk -F[/@:] '{print $4 " " $5}' <<<"$https_proxy")
$ printf "%s\n%s\n" $proxy_user $proxy_password
username
password
