bash - execute curl and export base64 file to variable -


i'm developing script downloads file, convert base64 , export code variable. @ moment can accomplish in 2 steps (which force me save file). how can directly download , export content without saving fine... i.e. in 1 line?

this i'm doing...

#!/bin/bash  -x   curl -o top10.jpg "http://www.somesite.com/top10.jpg" top10=$( base64 top10.jpg)

thanks!

you can use process substitution:

top10=$(base64 <(curl "http://www.somesite.com/top10.jpg"))

or, etan reisner points out in comment, pipeline work well:

top10=$(curl "http://www.somesite.com/top10.jpg" | base64)

while process substitution results in filename getting passed base64 (either name of fifo or named file descriptor such /dev/fd/63, depending on platform), pipeline passes data base64 via stdin - net effect same here.

the advantage of using pipeline is posix-compliant, whereas process substitution bash-specific feature.

utf 8 - split utf-8 string into bytes in python -

i trying split utf-8 string bytes in python 3. problem is, when use bytearray, byte, encode etc functions array size of element 14 bytes, not 1 byte expected. need split text file sequence of bytes , send them byte after byte using sockets. tried this: infile = open (file, "r") str = infile.read() byte_str = bytes(str, 'utf-8') print("size of byte_str",sys.getsizeof(byte_str[0])) print gives me 14, need 1... suggestion? quoting official documentation : sys.getsizeof(object[, default]) return size of object in bytes. object can type of object. built-in objects return correct results, not have hold true third-party extensions implementation specific. only memory consumption directly attributed object accounted for, not memory consumption of objects refers to. if given, default returned if object not provide means retrieve size. otherwise typeerror raised. getsizeof() calls object’s __sizeof__ method , adds ...
