I have a problem I can't seem to figure out..
I'm making a script I will run in OSX to help me stay connected to open wifi hotspots.
I am reading all surrounding wifi networks into a muntiline variable.
These wifi networks have sometimes spaces in their names, which presents a problem for me.
I want to loop through this multiline variable that contains spaces and add each line as it is to a new array cell.
Adding my code below.
Anyone that can help me sort this out?
#Looks for available networks
netarray=(`airport -s |
awk '$NF=="NONE"{print}' |
cut -c 1-32,51-54 |
sort -r -n -k 1.34,1.36 |
awk '{$NF=""; print}' |
sed -e 's/ $//' `)
#Test text added here
echo "netarray below"
echo "$netarray"
echo "cell 0 below"
echo ${netarray[0]}
echo "cell 1 below"
echo ${netarray[1]}
echo ""
#Until here
This gives me this output (See that TPE Free is cut):
netarray below
TPE Free HP-Print-93-LaserJet 1102
cell 0 below
TPE
cell 1 below
Free
airport -s gives me this output currently:

The awk on airport command just cuts out the names of the Open networks and puts them on separate rows.
