So, I'm working on a couple of functions in my bash script. I have one that works, but my 2nd one includes a number of values enclosed in double quotes "", thus breaking my variable substitutions. I've tried surrounding those values with a single tick, but that doesn't work in some cases.
For example:
# Functions
unset_versions ()
{
host='127.0.0.1'
db='mydev'
_account='"foo"'
_profile='"bar"'
_mongo=$(which mongo);
exp="db.profile_versions_20170420.update({account:${_account}, profile:${_profile}, version:${_version}},{ \$unset : { labels : true }});";
${_mongo} ${host}/${db} --eval "$exp"
}
However this won't work:
update_versions ()
{
host='127.0.0.1'
db='mydev'
_account='"foo"'
_profile='"bar"'
_mongo=$(which mongo);
exp="db.profile_versions_20170420.update({account:${_account}, profile:${_profile}, version:${_version}},{ \$set : { labels : { "1" : { "name" : "data layer patch", "color" : "regal-rose" }, "2" : { "name" : "Global Functions", "color" : "melon-mambo" }}}});
${_mongo} ${host}/${db} --eval "$exp"
}
I know this looks ugly. If there's a better way please provide some suggestions. I also tried doing exp=$(....), but that doesn't seem to work either.
