remove sertain text from terminal output for nautilus script

[Froylan]

hi
so I am doing a nautilus script that uses a file to run a command in a directory but $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI adds "file://" and I want to remove that, here is my script if it helps

frmdata=$(yad --title "script 1" --entry --text="please incert the URL")
~/.aa\ sh\ tools/tumbdl.sh $frmdata $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS

Simple use rm -rf to delte the file

[sudodus]

Try

 ${NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS/file\:\/\/}

instead of

 $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS

[Froylan]

Simple use rm -rf to delte the file

there is no file, it is a filepath

[Froylan]

neither worked

I tested the method in post #3 like this and it worked.

$ NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS=file://svammel
$ echo $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS
file://svammel
$ echo  ${NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS/file\:\/\/}
svammel

Maybe there is some other error in your script.

any way to see nautilus working in the terminal? watching what happens can help

What do you want to do?

It is probably easier to help you this way. Maybe there is another way to do it.
