Dear All,

I am new to Unix and i need a small Help from you Guys.....

The current structure of my system is as follows:
/Abc/xyz/cpd/std/re/doc

Each cpd directory has n number of std's. Each std has n number of re's.
My requirement is to write a UNIX script that would search whether doc directory is present under all re's directories.
If it is not, i need to write it into a temp file with the full path /Abc/xyz/cpd/std/re/doc.

Can anyone of you help me in writing a UNIX script for the above mentioned requirement ASAP.

Looking forward to your response.

Thank You.

Regards,
Rajani-kanth.

(untested)

i have done changes to the script according to my requirement but sorry to say that it's not working...........

It works for me, try posting the error message...
What shell are you using? The above code is for any bourne-style shell - ie it won't working under csh or tcsh

Hi ...
Thanks for your help.....and we are using : /bsh

i have saved the file with name : test1.sh
after compiling with : ./test1.sh it si showing nothing...so i have checked for the file under :/abc/xyz//tem/tempfile.txt but i was not able to find it.

I've never heard of bsh, the code snippet above can be run directly from the commandline of any bourne-style shell (sh, ksh, bash for examples). You can also put it into a shell script if you need to of course but make sure you use a bourne-style interpreter (eg #!/bin/sh at the start of the script)

Are you seeing any errors output at all?

If you've modified it, perhaps posting the new version might help us find what's wrong.

As a quick method of debugging, I'd also suggest removing the '>> /tmp/tempfile.txt' part so you can see what it's doing more easily.
