Hello,
I have several of urban terror server, and I wrote a script which checkes for something and removes it. So I check it with a a little bash script on my linux maschine and it works. This is what I used:

Quote

printf '\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFrcon rconpassword rconbefehl\n' | nc -u -n -w 1 ip port | sed -ne ':x;/\xFF/{N;s/\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFprint\n//;tx};/^$/d;p'

like I said the script works but it has 1387 lines of code because the for-loop in bash didnt work. So here is it how I tried with the for-loop:

Quote

for i in 18
do
player = i
printf '\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFrcon rconpassword dumpuser $i\n' | nc -u -n -w 1 ip port | sed -ne ':x;/\xFF/{N;s/\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFprint\n//;tx};/^$/d;p'
done

this doesnt work so my main question about it: is there another way to do it or what is wrong with it?

Your code can't work for a couple of reasons.
The error you get comes from the missing '':

printf '\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFrcon rconpassword dumpuser [b]'[/b]$i[b]'[/b]\n' | nc -u -n -w 1 ip port | sed -ne ':x;/\xFF/{N;s/\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFprint\n//;tx};/^$/d;p'

The next problem will be the slotnumbers.
I think your server has 18 slots so you go though the loop with the count of 18. But that will not work all the time.
Example:

Joe joins the server -> slot 1
Jane joins the server -> slot 2
Frank joins the server -> slot 3
Mark joins the server -> slot 4

Jane leaves the server -> slot 2 is empty and your script will output: Player 2 is not on the server

This (quick and dirty) script should do the trick:

#! /bin/bash
#
# OK lets work

# generate a genuine tempfile
tmpfile="/tmp/$(basename $0).$$.tmp"

# get all Slots that are used by players on the server and write it to the tempfile
printf '\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFrcon shangrila status\n' | nc -u -n -w 1 188.40.128.151 47960 | sed -ne ':x;/\xFF/{N;s/\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFprint\n//;tx};/^$/d;p' | awk '{printf "%g\n" ,$1}' | sed -e '/^0/d' > $tmpfile

# read the content tempfile and print the result of dumpuser to standard output
cat $tmpfile | \
while read CMD; do
        printf '\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFrcon shangrila dumpuser '$CMD'\n' | nc -u -n -w 1 188.40.128.151 47960 | sed -ne ':x;/\xFF/{N;s/\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFprint\n//;tx};/^$/d;p'
done

# EOF

PS: don't forget to change the server address/ port and rcon password to your needs
