Space parameter doesn't working

[GustavoPicoloto]

I use dropbox_uploader.sh in a crontab to do some daily backups in my personal website. Since May 16 the "space" is not working, as below:

$ ~/dropbox/dropbox_uploader.sh space
Dropbox Uploader v1.0

 > Getting space usage info... /home/myuser/dropbox/dropbox_uploader.sh: line 911: let: quota_mb=/1024/1024: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/1024/1024")


Quota:	 Mb
/home/myuser/dropbox/dropbox_uploader.sh: line 915: let: used_mb=/1024/1024: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/1024/1024")
Used:	 Mb
Free:	0 Mb

I don't know if it's just me, but I ran the script in debug mode and I could check that the response received from api is a little different than expected, it doesn't have a space after "allocated:" and after "used:". I fixed for me by editing the script and removing the space in lines 910 and 914:

From:
quota=$(sed -n 's/.*"allocated": \([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' "$RESPONSE_FILE")
To:
quota=$(sed -n 's/.*"allocated":\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' "$RESPONSE_FILE")

And from:
used=$(sed -n 's/.*"used": \([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' "$RESPONSE_FILE")
To:
used=$(sed -n 's/.*"used":\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' "$RESPONSE_FILE")

Hopes that this helps.

Better use \s* rather than "removing" the space - at least /me gets both "styles" of answers. Or even properly handle the JSON answer.

Yes, strange that that was the only thing not working.

Thanks for debugging guys, at first did not understand
now I see that I need post 1 and 2 changes together ;-)

For others same problem:

Changed
': \([0-9'
to
':\(\s*[0-9'
note the removed space between : and \ ( post 1 )
and add \s* ( post 2 )

Nice cooperation

it works again

thanx

update
Github lets the backslash disapear, when I edit again, it is there, when I close it is gone, now corrected
