Variable completely messes up echoed string












1















So I really have no idea how to better describe this than the title.



So I discovered this website called pwnedpasswords, where you can apparently check to see if your password's sha1 hash has been leaked somewhere. So I made a script to automate the process, here's my script:



#!/bin/bash

read -s -p "Input your password: " your_pw
echo
your_hash=$(printf "$your_pw"|sha1sum|tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'|head -c40)
hash_head=$(printf "$your_hash"|head -c5)
hash_tail=$(printf "$your_hash"|tail -c35)

pwned_count=$(curl https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/${hash_head} 2> /dev/null|grep "${hash_tail}"|awk -F ':' '{print $2}')
echo "Your password has been pwned ${your_pw} times"
echo "Your password has been pwned ${pwned_count} times"


And I used as a test password 1, and this is the output:



[me@my_compuuter aaa8]$ ./was_your_password_pwned.sh
Input your password:
Your password has been pwned 1 times
timesassword has been pwned 197972


Notice how when I echo "Your password has been pwned ${your_pw} times"
it gives me the correct format ($your_pw is just the password itself), but when I echo "Your password has been pwned ${pwned_count} times" it gives me this weird format where it takes the times from the end and somehow overlaps it in the beginning... I have no clue what's going on...



Can somebody figure it out?

          The list returned by that site has lines terminated by CR/LF. A CR (r) will move the caret/cursor to the beginning of the line:



          printf 'good r times'
          times

          • Wow thanks! I just added |tr 'r' 'n' to the end of the pwned_count variable and now it works properly, thanks!

          • @user323587, tr -d 'r' would be more common, it actually removes the carriage return. Changing it to a newline of course works in your case, too, since the command substitution removes all trailing newlines.
