I checked out your newer version and it looks like a much better solution. So I think I’ll just get to work implementing it into my project
(http://thefekete.net/gitweb/?p=gitWebTools.git;a=blob;f=publish;h=b5c4f6dedda2ebf2180a889a937e22878c833449).

I’ll leave any other comments on the new post.

However, I was not able to replicate the error! Please give me the exact URI string that produces the error so I can do some debugging!

#!/bin/bash

uri=$1

echo $uri

# Parse URI
op=`echo "$uri" | sed -nrf "uri.sed"`

# Handle invalid URI
[[ $op == 'ERROR' ]] &

# Execute assignments
eval "$op"

echo $uri_scheme
echo $uri_address
echo $uri_user
echo $uri_password
echo $uri_host
echo $uri_port
echo $uri_path

I’m having a problem though with the path parts and query strings sections of uri.sed. If I comment them out `eval $op’ works fine, but if I run it normally I get:

./uritest: array assign: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `”‘
./uritest: array assign: line 15: syntax error: unexpected end of file

It’s no problem for me, as all i’m looking to do is parse git, ssh and file uri’s (without args) and I don’t need the path parts. But I thought I’d let you know, and I was curious if this is a problem with my setup or what.

My setup:
Ubuntu Server 9.10 amd64
Linux helpcomputer 2.6.28-17-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 1 21:27:25 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
GNU sed version 4.1.5

Thanks again for this post, totaly awesome.
