I want to generate a static website from a shell script.
A example for the shell script code is:
author="Github INC."
name="Github"
description="social coding"
text=$(awk '{ print }' main.html)
The main.html could look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>$name</title>
</head>
<body>
......
I want to replace the $name string in the html document between the title tag with the $name string in the bash script (in this example Github) so in this example it should look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Github</title>
</head>
<body>
......
I could do this by changing the shell script Code to this:
author="Github INC."
name="Github"
description="social coding"
text="$( sed "s/<title>.*<\/title>/<title>$name<\/title>" main.html )"
But if I use more then one string in the html document, then it won't work anymore...
For example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>$name</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta name="author" content="$author" />
<meta name="description" content="$description" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.png" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
Any ideas how to connect the strings from the Shell Script with the HTML Document?

Using awk
[jaypal:~/Temp] cat html.sh
#!/bin/bash
author="Github INC."
name="Github"
description="social coding"
awk '{sub(/\$name/,name);sub(/\$author/,author);sub(/\$description/,description);}1' name="$name" author="$author" description="$description" inputfile
Using sed
[jaypal:~/Temp] cat html1.sh
#!/bin/bash
author="Github INC."
name="Github"
description="social coding"
sed -e '/\$name/s//"$name"/' -e '/\$description/s//"$description"/' -e '/\$author/s//"$author"/' inputfile
see the test (with awk) below: actually sed should work as well.
kent$ cat main.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>$name</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta name="author" content="$author" />
<meta name="description" content="$description" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.png" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
kent$ cat doIt.sh
#!/bin/bash
author="Github INC."
name="Github"
description="social coding"
awk -vauthor="$author" -vname="$name" -vdesc="$description" '{gsub(/\$name/,name);gsub(/\$author/,author);gsub(/\$description/,desc)}1' main.html
kent$ ./doIt.sh
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<title>Github</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

<meta name="author" content="Github INC." />
<meta name="description" content="social coding" />
