My Jenkins environment variable $SVN_URL is http://project/svn/neslrepo/trunk/java_project. I want to extract java_project and store in a variable through my shell script.

I tried:

job_name=(echo $SVN_URL | awk -F "/" '{print $NF}')

echo $job_name.war

I expected the output to be java_project.war, but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

The shell already provides some nice tools to do this, no need for an external command:

$ SVN_URL="http://project/svn/neslrepo/trunk/java_project"

$ echo ${SVN_URL##*/} 

java_project

So all you need is:

job_name=${SVN_URL##*/}.war

It appears that basename can also do this, despite the argument being an HTTP URL instead of a filesystem path.

echo $(basename "http://project/svn/neslrepo/trunk/java_project/").war

java_project.war

Since the man page does not mention HTTP URLs, this is probably an abuse of basename. It seems to be a side effect of the structural similarity between an HTTP URL and a filesystem path. man 3 basename says (emphasis mine):

The functions dirname() and basename() break a null-terminated
pathname string into directory and filename components. In the usual
case, dirname() returns the string up to, but not including, the final
'/', and basename() returns the component following the final '/'.
Trailing '/' characters are not counted as part of the pathname.

I tried by below 2 methods and it worked fine

Method1



@praveen_linux_example ~]# SVN_URL=http://project/svn/neslrepo/trunk/java_project

[root@praveen_linux_example ~]# jobname=`echo $SVN_URL| awk -F "/" '{print $NF}'`

[root@praveen_linux_example ~]# echo $jobname.war

java_project.war

======================================================================================================

Method 2



 SVN_URL=http://project/svn/neslrepo/trunk/java_project

@praveen_linux_example ~]# echo $SVN_URL| sed "s/.*///"| sed "s/$/.war/"

java_project.war

The problem is in your job_name=(echo $SVN_URL | awk -F "/" '{print $NF}') line.

You are trying to use command substitution, however, you've forgotten the $.

It should be the following in order to make bash execute the commands in brackets:

job_name=$(echo $SVN_URL | awk -F "/" '{print $NF}')

The following snippet worked perfectly for me:

#!/bin/bash



SVN_URL="http://project/svn/neslrepo/trunk/java_project"



job_name=$(echo $SVN_URL | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}')

echo $job_name.war
