variable from sed

[Architect]

I have a list that contains several filenames with a .java extension.
I want to convert the .java part to a "();" and then check if this line is present in another file.
To do this I need to get the sed output into a variable. this is the code snippet I am using. for var in $fileList; do
if echo "$var" | egrep -q "\.java" ; then
tcName= $(`echo $var | sed -n -e s/\.tc/\(\)\;/`)
echo "from here" $tcName
fi
done
I am not getting anything in the variable right now with the above code.

How do i do this?

Actually what I need to do is,
I have a file containing all the Java filenames as functions i.e. ".java" is replaced with "();" in the main file. There are thousands of files there.
I want to know if all the .java files are actually present in a specific directory as well.

I mean the the main file is correct. I need to check that all the files are really present, what would be the best way to verify this?

This may work. Get all "words" in your main java file into a temp file, one "word" per line.
Then get a list of just function names, then loop thru them looking for name.java. My syntax on the if/then may not be right.. check it to make sure it is doing the "not a file" part correctly.


for i in `grep () mainfile.java`
do
echo $i >> atmpfile
done
for i in `grep () atmpfile`
do
fname=`echo $i | cut -f 1 -d ( | sort | uniq`
if [ ! -f $fname.java ]
echo $i.java missing
fi
done

Ok I will try that out.
Anyway how do I get sed's output into a variable?

Anyway how do I get sed's output into a variable? Instead of putting backticks inside $(...), you get rid of one or the other.

Either use backticks, or use $(...). Don't nest them with each other unless you intend to do two process substitutions. (Heck, don't nest backticks inside backticks either, unless you intend to do two process substitutions.)
