To convert the recipe name "Slow Cooker Smoky BBQ Chicken Drumsticks" into a more script-friendly format like "Slow_Cooker_Smoky_BBQ_Chicken_Drumsticks", you can use a simple Bash command to replace spaces with underscores. This is a common task when you need to generate filenames or identifiers that require non-spaced strings.
|
||
|
||
Here’s a straightforward way to do this in Bash, which you can use repeatedly:
|
||
|
||
### Bash Script
|
||
|
||
Create a script named `format_recipe_name.sh` with the following content:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
#!/bin/bash
|
||
|
||
# This script converts a recipe name with spaces into a format with underscores
|
||
|
||
# Input: Recipe name as a string
|
||
# Output: Formatted recipe name with underscores
|
||
|
||
# Function to replace spaces with underscores
|
||
convert_name() {
|
||
echo "$1" | sed 's/ /_/g'
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
# Example usage:
|
||
recipe_name="Slow Cooker Smoky BBQ Chicken Drumsticks"
|
||
formatted_name=$(convert_name "$recipe_name")
|
||
echo "Formatted Recipe Name: $formatted_name"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### How to Use the Script
|
||
|
||
1. **Make the Script Executable:**
|
||
Open your terminal and run the following command to make your script executable:
|
||
```bash
|
||
chmod +x format_recipe_name.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. **Run the Script:**
|
||
You can now run the script by typing:
|
||
```bash
|
||
./format_recipe_name.sh
|
||
```
|
||
This will output the formatted name: `Slow_Cooker_Smoky_BBQ_Chicken_Drumsticks`.
|
||
|
||
### Modifying the Script for General Use
|
||
|
||
If you want to use the script for any recipe name, you can modify it to accept an input argument:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
#!/bin/bash
|
||
|
||
# Function to replace spaces with underscores
|
||
convert_name() {
|
||
echo "$1" | sed 's/ /_/g'
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
# Check if an argument is provided
|
||
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
|
||
echo "Usage: $0 'recipe name'"
|
||
exit 1
|
||
fi
|
||
|
||
# Convert and output the formatted name
|
||
formatted_name=$(convert_name "$1")
|
||
echo "Formatted Recipe Name: $formatted_name"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now, you can pass any recipe name as an argument to the script:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./format_recipe_name.sh "Slow Cooker Smoky BBQ Chicken Drumsticks"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This flexible script can handle any name you provide, making it easy and repeatable for different recipes or other similar formatting needs. |
