Split long message

[Andrea Ganduglia]

address@hidden, when I sent long message Gnokii sends only first 140bytes and
is ok. I wrote a little (and terribile) script to spilit message
before it was send.

#!/bin/bash

#Input file ---
SMSTEXT=$1

# Part x of n
FRASE='# Part XX of NN #'

# SMS size limit (bytes)
SIZELIMIT="140"

# The script

SOTTR=`echo ${#FRASE}`
SIZELIMIT=$(($SIZELIMIT-$SOTTR))

split -b $SIZELIMIT -d $SMSTEXT part

LASTPART=`ls -1 part* | tail -1 | sed -e 's/part//g'`

for i in part*; do

        PARTHERE=`echo $i | sed -e 's/part//g'`

        ENDMSG=`echo $FRASE | sed -e "s/XX/$PARTHERE/g"`
        ENDMSG=`echo $ENDMSG | sed -e "s/NN/$LASTPART/g"`

        echo -n "$ENDMSG" >> $i

        # Here I WANT manipulate header of message
        cat $i | gnokii --sendsms <phonenumber>

done

In this way gnokii sends two or more sms, while I want it send one
message in two o more parts, that is two or more messages with
identical "Protocol Identifier".

Thx.
