Issue with cut and username

[RiderExMachina]

Tested on:

• Fedora 28
• openSUSE Tumbleweed

Problem: cut gives an error when running the script. Error: "cut: invalid field range". I'm unsure which line in particular is the issue, but manually editing Line 613 to OUR_CONFIG="$HOME/.steam/steam/userdata/$WHICHSTEAM/7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf seems to complete (at least with passing the user flag).

Tried:

• Editing line 613 (see above)

Output:

• No flags (see #8)

  Possible users to make Steam categories for:
  1 : [LINUX]

  We are using:  :: users

  Try 'cut --help' for more information.
  Our config file is: /7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf
  cp: cannot stat '/7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf': No such file or directory
  We can't find the config file.
  This is important, so we are quitting.

• User flag

WHICH_CONFIG=$(grep PersonaName ~/.steam/steam/userdata/*/config/localconfig.vdf | sed -n "$WHICHSTEAM"p | cut -d: -f1) let COUNT_SLASHES=$(grep -o "/" <<< "$WHICH_CONFIG" | wc -l)-1 OUR_CONFIG=$(cut -d/ -f1-$COUNT_SLASHES <<< "$WHICH_CONFIG")"/7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf"

That's the section that the error is coming from. The below should prevent it from happening.

8 has been resolved, however, now I get the following output (running on 65d8554):

Do you mind setting --debug --sequential and running again? The logic that finds your config file is failing, but I am not able to see how it is by looking at the code.

[RiderExMachina]

++ grep PersonaName /home/rider/.steam/steam/userdata/98177731/config/localconfig.vdf
++ sed -n 1p
++ cut -d: -f1
+ WHICH_CONFIG='                "PersonaName"           "[LINUX] <Username>"'
++ grep -o /
++ wc -l
+ let COUNT_SLASHES=0-1
++ cut -d/ -f1--1
cut: invalid field range
Try 'cut --help' for more information.
+ OUR_CONFIG=/7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf
+ echo 'Script Exited, files not cleaned up'

[RiderExMachina]

So it looks like COUNT_SLASHES isn't picking anything up

[bryanmr]

I changed the logic but I am worried about how that might be failing still.

Nope:

+ OUR_CONFIG='          "PersonaName"           "[LINUX] <Username>"7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf'
+ echo 'Our config file is:             "PersonaName"           "[LINUX] <Username>"7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf'
Our config file is:             "PersonaName"           "[LINUX] <Username>"7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf
+ '[' '!' -e '          "PersonaName"           "[LINUX] <Username>"7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf' ']'
+ echo 'We can'\''t find the config file:               "PersonaName"           "[LINUX] \<Username>"7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf'
We can't find the config file:          "PersonaName"           "[LINUX] <Username>"7/remote/sharedconfig.vdf
+ echo 'This is important, so we are quitting.'
This is important, so we are quitting.
+ exit
+ echo 'Script Exited, files not cleaned up'
Script Exited, files not cleaned up

@bryanmr What's the intended operation for lines 621-623 in 65d8554?

I think I just figured it out, you only have one user, right?

I needed to add a -H to the grep on that line, so I always had the filename. The idea is for it to grab the lines that contain the names, print the specific line that has the one you select, and then only grab the filename.

I would then count the slashes since I wanted the strip off the last ones. I changed that to make it so now it just removes the string in the filename.

It doesn't error out, but it doesn't create new tags either. I think we can close this issue though, as the cut/username issue is sorted out now.
