How do I grab an INI value within a shell script?

开发者 https://www.devze.com 2023-03-12 20:30 出处:网络
I have a parameters.ini file, such as: [parameters.ini] database_user= user database开发者_运维问答_version = 20110611142248

I have a parameters.ini file, such as:

[parameters.ini]
    database_user    = user
    database开发者_运维问答_version = 20110611142248

I want to read in and use the database version specified in the parameters.ini file from within a bash shell script so I can process it.

#!/bin/sh    
# Need to get database version from parameters.ini file to use in script    
php app/console doctrine:migrations:migrate $DATABASE_VERSION

How would I do this?


How about grepping for that line then using awk

version=$(awk -F "=" '/database_version/ {print $2}' parameters.ini)


You can use bash native parser to interpret ini values, by:

$ source <(grep = file.ini)

Sample file:

[section-a]
  var1=value1
  var2=value2
  IPS=( "1.2.3.4" "1.2.3.5" )

To access variables, you simply printing them: echo $var1. You may also use arrays as shown above (echo ${IPS[@]}).

If you only want a single value just grep for it:

source <(grep var1 file.ini)

For the demo, check this recording at asciinema.

It is simple as you don't need for any external library to parse the data, but it comes with some disadvantages. For example:

  • If you have spaces between = (variable name and value), then you've to trim the spaces first, e.g.

      $ source <(grep = file.ini | sed 's/ *= */=/g')
    

    Or if you don't care about the spaces (including in the middle), use:

      $ source <(grep = file.ini | tr -d ' ')
    
  • To support ; comments, replace them with #:

      $ sed "s/;/#/g" foo.ini | source /dev/stdin
    
  • The sections aren't supported (e.g. if you've [section-name], then you've to filter it out as shown above, e.g. grep =), the same for other unexpected errors.

    If you need to read specific value under specific section, use grep -A, sed, awk or ex).

    E.g.

      source <(grep = <(grep -A5 '\[section-b\]' file.ini))
    

    Note: Where -A5 is the number of rows to read in the section. Replace source with cat to debug.

  • If you've got any parsing errors, ignore them by adding: 2>/dev/null

Sed one-liner, that takes sections into account. Example file:

[section1]
param1=123
param2=345
param3=678

[section2]
param1=abc
param2=def
param3=ghi

[section3]
param1=000
param2=111
param3=222

Say you want param2 from section2. Run the following:

sed -nr "/^\[section2\]/ { :l /^param2[ ]*=/ { s/[^=]*=[ ]*//; p; q;}; n; b l;}" ./file.ini

will give you

def


Bash does not provide a parser for these files. Obviously you can use an awk command or a couple of sed calls, but if you are bash-priest and don't want to use any other shell, then you can try the following obscure code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
cfg_parser ()
{
    ini="$(<$1)"                # read the file
    ini="${ini//[/\[}"          # escape [
    ini="${ini//]/\]}"          # escape ]
    IFS=$'\n' && ini=( ${ini} ) # convert to line-array
    ini=( ${ini[*]//;*/} )      # remove comments with ;
    ini=( ${ini[*]/\    =/=} )  # remove tabs before =
    ini=( ${ini[*]/=\   /=} )   # remove tabs after =
    ini=( ${ini[*]/\ =\ /=} )   # remove anything with a space around =
    ini=( ${ini[*]/#\\[/\}$'\n'cfg.section.} ) # set section prefix
    ini=( ${ini[*]/%\\]/ \(} )    # convert text2function (1)
    ini=( ${ini[*]/=/=\( } )    # convert item to array
    ini=( ${ini[*]/%/ \)} )     # close array parenthesis
    ini=( ${ini[*]/%\\ \)/ \\} ) # the multiline trick
    ini=( ${ini[*]/%\( \)/\(\) \{} ) # convert text2function (2)
    ini=( ${ini[*]/%\} \)/\}} ) # remove extra parenthesis
    ini[0]="" # remove first element
    ini[${#ini[*]} + 1]='}'    # add the last brace
    eval "$(echo "${ini[*]}")" # eval the result
}

cfg_writer ()
{
    IFS=' '$'\n'
    fun="$(declare -F)"
    fun="${fun//declare -f/}"
    for f in $fun; do
        [ "${f#cfg.section}" == "${f}" ] && continue
        item="$(declare -f ${f})"
        item="${item##*\{}"
        item="${item%\}}"
        item="${item//=*;/}"
        vars="${item//=*/}"
        eval $f
        echo "[${f#cfg.section.}]"
        for var in $vars; do
            echo $var=\"${!var}\"
        done
    done
}

Usage:

# parse the config file called 'myfile.ini', with the following
# contents::
#   [sec2]
#   var2='something'
cfg.parser 'myfile.ini'

# enable section called 'sec2' (in the file [sec2]) for reading
cfg.section.sec2

# read the content of the variable called 'var2' (in the file
# var2=XXX). If your var2 is an array, then you can use
# ${var[index]}
echo "$var2"

Bash ini-parser can be found at The Old School DevOps blog site.


Just include your .ini file into bash body:

File example.ini:

DBNAME=test
DBUSER=scott
DBPASSWORD=tiger

File example.sh

#!/bin/bash
#Including .ini file
. example.ini
#Test
echo "${DBNAME}   ${DBUSER}  ${DBPASSWORD}"


You may use crudini tool to get ini values, e.g.:

DATABASE_VERSION=$(crudini --get parameters.ini '' database_version)


All of the solutions I've seen so far also hit on commented out lines. This one didn't, if the comment code is ;:

awk -F '=' '{if (! ($0 ~ /^;/) && $0 ~ /database_version/) print $2}' file.ini


one of more possible solutions

dbver=$(sed -n 's/.*database_version *= *\([^ ]*.*\)/\1/p' < parameters.ini)
echo $dbver


Display the value of my_key in an ini-style my_file:

sed -n -e 's/^\s*my_key\s*=\s*//p' my_file
  • -n -- do not print anything by default
  • -e -- execute the expression
  • s/PATTERN//p -- display anything following this pattern In the pattern:
  • ^ -- pattern begins at the beginning of the line
  • \s -- whitespace character
  • * -- zero or many (whitespace characters)

Example:

$ cat my_file
# Example INI file
something   = foo
my_key      = bar
not_my_key  = baz
my_key_2    = bing

$ sed -n -e 's/^\s*my_key\s*=\s*//p' my_file
bar

So:

Find a pattern where the line begins with zero or many whitespace characters, followed by the string my_key, followed by zero or many whitespace characters, an equal sign, then zero or many whitespace characters again. Display the rest of the content on that line following that pattern.


Similar to the other Python answers, you can do this using the -c flag to execute a sequence of Python statements given on the command line:

$ python3 -c "import configparser; c = configparser.ConfigParser(); c.read('parameters.ini'); print(c['parameters.ini']['database_version'])"
20110611142248

This has the advantage of requiring only the Python standard library and the advantage of not writing a separate script file.

Or use a here document for better readability, thusly:

#!/bin/bash
python << EOI
import configparser
c = configparser.ConfigParser()
c.read('params.txt')
print c['chassis']['serialNumber']
EOI

serialNumber=$(python << EOI
import configparser
c = configparser.ConfigParser()
c.read('params.txt')
print c['chassis']['serialNumber']
EOI
)

echo $serialNumber


sed

You can use sed to parse the ini configuration file, especially when you've section names like:

# last modified 1 April 2001 by John Doe
[owner]
name=John Doe
organization=Acme Widgets Inc.

[database]
# use IP address in case network name resolution is not working
server=192.0.2.62
port=143
file=payroll.dat

so you can use the following sed script to parse above data:

# Configuration bindings found outside any section are given to
# to the default section.
1 {
  x
  s/^/default/
  x
}

# Lines starting with a #-character are comments.
/#/n

# Sections are unpacked and stored in the hold space.
/\[/ {
  s/\[\(.*\)\]/\1/
  x
  b
}

# Bindings are unpacked and decorated with the section
# they belong to, before being printed.
/=/ {
  s/^[[:space:]]*//
  s/[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*/|/
  G
  s/\(.*\)\n\(.*\)/\2|\1/
  p
}

this will convert the ini data into this flat format:

owner|name|John Doe
owner|organization|Acme Widgets Inc.
database|server|192.0.2.62
database|port|143
database|file|payroll.dat

so it'll be easier to parse using sed, awk or read by having section names in every line.

Alternatively, you can use this project: chilladx/config-parser, a configuration parser using sed.


For people (like me) looking to read INI files from shell scripts (read shell, not bash) - I've knocked up the a little helper library which tries to do exactly that:

https://github.com/wallyhall/shini (MIT license, do with it as you please. I've linked above including it inline as the code is quite lengthy.)

It's somewhat more "complicated" than the simple sed lines suggested above - but works on a very similar basis.

Function reads in a file line-by-line - looking for section markers ([section]) and key/value declarations (key=value).

Ultimately you get a callback to your own function - section, key and value.


Here is my version, which parses sections and populates a global associative array g_iniProperties with it. Note that this works only with bash v4.2 and higher.

function parseIniFile() { #accepts the name of the file to parse as argument ($1)
    #declare syntax below (-gA) only works with bash 4.2 and higher
    unset g_iniProperties
    declare -gA g_iniProperties
    currentSection=""
    while read -r line
    do
        if [[ $line = [*  ]] ; then
            if [[ $line = [* ]] ; then 
                currentSection=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/\r//g' | tr -d "[]")  
            fi
        else
            if [[ $line = *=*  ]] ; then
                cleanLine=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/\r//g')
                key=$currentSection.$(echo $cleanLine | awk -F: '{ st = index($0,"=");print  substr($0,0,st-1)}')
                value=$(echo $cleanLine | awk -F: '{ st = index($0,"=");print  substr($0,st+1)}')
                g_iniProperties[$key]=$value
            fi
        fi;
    done < $1
}

And here is a sample code using the function above:

parseIniFile "/path/to/myFile.ini"
for key in "${!g_iniProperties[@]}"; do
    echo "Found key/value $key = ${g_iniProperties[$key]}"
done


Yet another implementation using awk with a little more flexibility.

function parse_ini() {
  cat /dev/stdin | awk -v section="$1" -v key="$2" '
    BEGIN {
      if (length(key) > 0) { params=2 }
      else if (length(section) > 0) { params=1 }
      else { params=0 }
    }
    match($0,/#/) { next }
    match($0,/^\[(.+)\]$/){
      current=substr($0, RSTART+1, RLENGTH-2)
      found=current==section
      if (params==0) { print current }
    }
    match($0,/(.+)=(.+)/) {
       if (found) {
         if (params==2 && key==$1) { print $3 }
         if (params==1) { printf "%s=%s\n",$1,$3 }
       }
    }'
}

You can use calling passing between 0 and 2 params:

cat myfile1.ini myfile2.ini | parse_ini # List section names

cat myfile1.ini myfile2.ini | parse_ini 'my-section' # Prints keys and values from a section

cat myfile1.ini myfile2.ini | parse_ini 'my-section' 'my-key' # Print a single value


complex simplicity

ini file

test.ini

[section1]
name1=value1
name2=value2
[section2]
name1=value_1
  name2  =  value_2

bash script with read and execute

/bin/parseini

#!/bin/bash

set +a
while read p; do
  reSec='^\[(.*)\]$'
  #reNV='[ ]*([^ ]*)+[ ]*=(.*)'     #Remove only spaces around name
  reNV='[ ]*([^ ]*)+[ ]*=[ ]*(.*)'  #Remove spaces around name and spaces before value
  if [[ $p =~ $reSec ]]; then
      section=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
  elif [[ $p =~ $reNV ]]; then
    sNm=${section}_${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
    sVa=${BASH_REMATCH[2]}
    set -a
    eval "$(echo "$sNm"=\""$sVa"\")"
    set +a
  fi
done < $1

then in another script I source the results of the command and can use any variables within

test.sh

#!/bin/bash

source parseini test.ini

echo $section2_name2

finally from command line the output is thus

# ./test.sh 
value_2


Some of the answers don't respect comments. Some don't respect sections. Some recognize only one syntax (only ":" or only "="). Some Python answers fail on my machine because of differing captialization or failing to import the sys module. All are a bit too terse for me.

So I wrote my own, and if you have a modern Python, you can probably call this from your Bash shell. It has the advantage of adhering to some of the common Python coding conventions, and even provides sensible error messages and help. To use it, name it something like myconfig.py (do NOT call it configparser.py or it may try to import itself,) make it executable, and call it like

value=$(myconfig.py something.ini sectionname value)

Here's my code for Python 3.5 on Linux:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Last Modified: Thu Aug  3 13:58:50 PDT 2017
"""A program that Bash can call to parse an .ini file"""

import sys
import configparser
import argparse

if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="A program that Bash can call to parse an .ini file")
    parser.add_argument("inifile", help="name of the .ini file")
    parser.add_argument("section", help="name of the section in the .ini file")
    parser.add_argument("itemname", help="name of the desired value")
    args = parser.parse_args()

    config = configparser.ConfigParser()
    config.read(args.inifile)
    print(config.get(args.section, args.itemname))


I wrote a quick and easy python script to include in my bash script.

For example, your ini file is called food.ini and in the file you can have some sections and some lines:

[FRUIT]
Oranges = 14
Apples = 6

Copy this small 6 line Python script and save it as configparser.py

#!/usr/bin/python
import configparser
import sys
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read(sys.argv[1])
print config.get(sys.argv[2],sys.argv[3])

Now, in your bash script you could do this for example.

OrangeQty=$(python configparser.py food.ini FRUIT Oranges)

or

ApplesQty=$(python configparser.py food.ini FRUIT Apples)
echo $ApplesQty

This presupposes:

  1. you have Python installed
  2. you have the configparser library installed (this should come with a std python installation)

Hope it helps :¬)


The explanation to the answer for the one-liner sed.

[section1]
param1=123
param2=345
param3=678

[section2]
param1=abc
param2=def
param3=ghi

[section3]
param1=000
param2=111
param3=222
sed -nr "/^\[section2\]/ { :l /^\s*[^#].*/ p; n; /^\[/ q; b l; }" ./file.ini

To understand, it will be easier to format the line like this:

sed -nr "
      # start processing when we found the word \"section2\"
      /^\[section2\]/  { #the set of commands inside { } will be executed
          #create a label \"l\"  (https://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html#uh-58)
          :l /^\s*[^#].*/ p; 
          # move on to the next line. For the first run it is the \"param1=abc\"
          n; 
          # check if this line is beginning of new section. If yes - then exit.
          /^\[/ q
          #otherwise jump to the label \"l\"
          b l
          }

" file.ini


This script will get parameters as follow :

meaning that if your ini has :

pars_ini.ksh < path to ini file > < name of Sector in Ini file > < the name in name=value to return >

eg. how to call it :


[ environment ]

a=x

[ DataBase_Sector ]

DSN = something


Then calling :

pars_ini.ksh /users/bubu_user/parameters.ini DataBase_Sector DSN

this will retrieve the following "something"

the script "pars_ini.ksh" :

\#!/bin/ksh

\#INI_FILE=path/to/file.ini

\#INI_SECTION=TheSection

\# BEGIN parse-ini-file.sh

\# SET UP THE MINIMUM VARS FIRST

alias sed=/usr/local/bin/sed

INI_FILE=$1

INI_SECTION=$2

INI_NAME=$3

INI_VALUE=""


eval `sed -e 's/[[:space:]]*\=[[:space:]]*/=/g' \

    -e 's/;.*$//' \

    -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//' \

    -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' \

    -e "s/^\(.*\)=\([^\"']*\)$/\1=\"\2\"/" \

   < $INI_FILE  \

    | sed -n -e "/^\[$INI_SECTION\]/,/^\s*\[/{/^[^;].*\=.*/p;}"`


TEMP_VALUE=`echo "$"$INI_NAME`

echo `eval echo $TEMP_VALUE`


This implementation uses awk and has the following advantages:

  1. Will only return the first matching entry
  2. Ignores lines that start with a ;
  3. Trims leading and trailing whitespace, but not internal whitespace

Formatted version:

awk -F '=' '/^\s*database_version\s*=/ {
            sub(/^ +/, "", $2);
            sub(/ +$/, "", $2);
            print $2;
            exit;
          }' parameters.ini

One-liner:

awk -F '=' '/^\s*database_version\s*=/ { sub(/^ +/, "", $2); sub(/ +$/, "", $2); print $2; exit; }' parameters.ini


You can use a CSV parser xsv as parsing INI data.

cargo install xsv
$ cat /etc/*release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
$ xsv select -d "=" - <<< "$( cat /etc/*release )" | xsv search --no-headers --select 1 "DISTRIB_CODENAME" | xsv select 2
xenial

or from a file.

$ xsv select -d "=" - file.ini | xsv search --no-headers --select 1 "DISTRIB_CODENAME" | xsv select 2


My version of the one-liner

#!/bin/bash
#Reader for MS Windows 3.1 Ini-files
#Usage: inireader.sh

# e.g.: inireader.sh win.ini ERRORS DISABLE
# would return value "no" from the section of win.ini
#[ERRORS]
#DISABLE=no
INIFILE=$1
SECTION=$2
ITEM=$3
cat $INIFILE | sed -n /^\[$SECTION\]/,/^\[.*\]/p | grep "^[:space:]*$ITEM[:space:]*=" | sed s/.*=[:space:]*//


Just finished writing my own parser. I tried to use various parser found here, none seems to work with both ksh93 (AIX) and bash (Linux).

It's old programming style - parsing line by line. Pretty fast since it used few external commands. A bit slower because of all the eval required for dynamic name of the array.

The ini support 3 special syntaxs:

  • includefile=ini file --> Load an additionnal ini file. Useful for splitting ini in multiple files, or re-use some piece of configuration
  • includedir=directory --> Same as includefile, but include a complete directory
  • includesection=section --> Copy an existing section to the current section.

I used all thoses syntax to have pretty complex, re-usable ini file. Useful to install products when installing a new OS - we do that a lot.

Values can be accessed with ${ini[$section.$item]}. The array MUST be defined before calling this.

Have fun. Hope it's useful for someone else!

When I use a password in base64, I put the separator ":" because the base64 string may has "=". For example (I use ksh):

> echo "Abc123" | base64
QWJjMTIzCg==

In parameters.ini put the line pass:QWJjMTIzCg==, and finally:

> PASS=`awk -F":" '/pass/ {print $2 }' parameters.ini | base64 --decode`
> echo "$PASS"
Abc123

If the line has spaces like "pass : QWJjMTIzCg== " add | tr -d ' ' to trim them:

> PASS=`awk -F":" '/pass/ {print $2 }' parameters.ini | tr -d ' ' | base64 --decode`
> echo "[$PASS]"
[Abc123]


This uses the system perl and clean regular expressions:

cat parameters.ini | perl -0777ne 'print "$1" if /\[\s*parameters\.ini\s*\][\s\S]*?\sdatabase_version\s*=\s*(.*)/'


The answer of "Karen Gabrielyan" among another answers was the best but in some environments we dont have awk, like typical busybox, i changed the answer by below code.

trim()
{
    local trimmed="$1"

    # Strip leading space.
    trimmed="${trimmed## }"
    # Strip trailing space.
    trimmed="${trimmed%% }"

    echo "$trimmed"
}


  function parseIniFile() { #accepts the name of the file to parse as argument ($1)
        #declare syntax below (-gA) only works with bash 4.2 and higher
        unset g_iniProperties
        declare -gA g_iniProperties
        currentSection=""
        while read -r line
        do
            if [[ $line = [*  ]] ; then
                if [[ $line = [* ]] ; then 
                    currentSection=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/\r//g' | tr -d "[]")  
                fi
            else
                if [[ $line = *=*  ]] ; then
                    cleanLine=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/\r//g')
                    key=$(trim $currentSection.$(echo $cleanLine | cut -d'=' -f1'))
                    value=$(trim $(echo $cleanLine | cut -d'=' -f2))
                    g_iniProperties[$key]=$value
                fi
            fi;
        done < $1
    }


If Python is available, the following will read all the sections, keys and values and save them in variables with their names following the format "[section]_[key]". Python can read .ini files properly, so we make use of it.

#!/bin/bash

eval $(python3 << EOP
from configparser import SafeConfigParser

config = SafeConfigParser()
config.read("config.ini"))

for section in config.sections():
    for (key, val) in config.items(section):
        print(section + "_" + key + "=\"" + val + "\"")
EOP
)

echo "Environment_type:  ${Environment_type}"
echo "Environment_name:  ${Environment_name}"

config.ini

[Environment]
  type                = DEV
  name                = D01


If using sections, this will do the job :

Example raw output :

$ ./settings
[section]
SETTING_ONE=this is setting one
SETTING_TWO=This is the second setting
ANOTHER_SETTING=This is another setting

Regexp parsing :

$ ./settings | sed -n -E "/^\[.*\]/{s/\[(.*)\]/\1/;h;n;};/^[a-zA-Z]/{s/#.*//;G;s/([^ ]*) *= *(.*)\n(.*)/\3_\1='\2'/;p;}"
section_SETTING_ONE='this is setting one'
section_SETTING_TWO='This is the second setting'
section_ANOTHER_SETTING='This is another setting'

Now all together :

$ eval "$(./settings | sed -n -E "/^\[.*\]/{s/\[(.*)\]/\1/;h;n;};/^[a-zA-Z]/{s/#.*//;G;s/([^ ]*) *= *(.*)\n(.*)/\3_\1='\2'/;p;}")"
$ echo $section_SETTING_TWO
This is the second setting


I have nice one-liner (assuimng you have php and jq installed):

cat file.ini | php -r "echo json_encode(parse_ini_string(file_get_contents('php://stdin'), true, INI_SCANNER_RAW));" | jq '.section.key'


This thread does not have enough solutions to choose from, thus here my solution, it does not require tools like sed or awk :

grep '^\[section\]' -A 999 config.ini | tail -n +2  | grep -B 999 '^\[' | head -n -1 | grep '^key' | cut -d '=' -f 2 

If your are to expect sections with more than 999 lines, feel free to adapt the example above. Note that you may want to trim the resulting value, to remove spaces or a comment string after the value. Remove the ^ if you need to match keys that do not start at the beginning of the line, as in the example of the question. Better, match explicitly for white spaces and tabs, in such a case.

If you have multiple values in a given section you want to read, but want to avoid reading the file multiple times:

CONFIG_SECTION=$(grep '^\[section\]' -A 999 config.ini | tail -n +2  | grep -B 999 '^\[' | head -n -1)

KEY1=$(echo ${CONFIG_SECTION} | tr ' ' '\n' | grep key1 | cut -d '=' -f 2)
echo "KEY1=${KEY1}"
KEY2=$(echo ${CONFIG_SECTION} | tr ' ' '\n' | grep key2 | cut -d '=' -f 2)
echo "KEY2=${KEY2}"
