I'm trying to write a little script which will open a text file and give me an md5 hash for each line of text. For example I have a file with:
123
213
312
I want output to be:
ba1f2511fc30423bdbb183fe33f3dd0f
6f36dfd82a1b64f668d9957ad81199ff
390d29f732f024a4ebd58645781dfa5a
I'm trying to do this part in bash which will read each line:
#!/bin/bash
#read.file.line.by.line.sh
while read line
do
echo $line
done
later on I do:
$ more 123.txt | ./read.line.by.line.sh | md5sum | cut -d ' ' -f 1
but I'm missing something here, does not work :(
Maybe there is an easier way...
Almost there, try this:
while read -r line; do printf %s "$line" | md5sum | cut -f1 -d' '; done < 123.txt
Unless you also want to hash the newline character in every line you should use printf
or echo -n
instead of echo
option.
In a script:
#! /bin/bash
cat "$@" | while read -r line; do
printf %s "$line" | md5sum | cut -f1 -d' '
done
The script can be called with multiple files as parameters.
You can just call md5sum directly in the script:
#!/bin/bash
#read.file.line.by.line.sh
while read line
do
echo $line | md5sum | awk '{print $1}'
done
That way the script spits out directly what you want: the md5 hash of each line.
