bash - Shell script: Whitespace in file names -


i have shell script processes files. problem there might white spaces in file names, did:

#!/bin/sh file=`echo $file | sed -e 's/[[:space:]]/\\ /g'` cat $file

so variable file file name passed in other program. may contain white spaces. used sed escape white space \ in order make command line utilities able process it.

the problem doesn't work. echo $file | sed -e 's/[[:space:]]/\\ /g' works expected, when assigned file, escape char \ disappeared again. result, cat interpret more 1 arguments. wonder why behaves this? there anyway avoid it? , if there're multiple white spaces, some terrible file.txt, should replaced some\ \ \ terrible\ \ file.txt. thanks.

don’t make more complicated is.

cat "$file"

that’s need. note quotes around variable. prevent variable being expanded , split @ whitespace. should write shell programs that. put quotes around variables, unless want shell expand them.

for in $pattern;

that ok.

node.js - How do I prevent MongoDB replica set from querying the primary? -

read-operations-only: is there way have mongodb replica set, make mongodb instance on box connected to, mongodb gets queried? i have 3 ec2 instances behind aws load balancer. on each ec2 instance runs mongodb, part of replica set. i have express endpoints on nodejs , connect replica set follows mongodb.mongoclient.connect('mongodb://1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3.', function (err, db) { if (err) { complete('{}'); } else { i distribute load of queries evenly across 3 instances of mongodb replica set instead of default having queries routed ec2 instance primary mongodb defined, because destroys point of load balancer (which balance load of queries across 3 instances evenly). my understanding when connecting mongodb replica set, primary instance selected unless primary instance down, , therefore purpose of every secondary instance serve backup. in example people call hot,cold,cold. because there 2...
