This is how far I have got, but it still doesnt do what it is supposed to
The code is to be written on KornShell and has to be done command line and
menu form, im trying to do the menu code first
then the command line will be simpler.
The question is:
for each file in the directory <dir_name>, display its name, together with
the word file if it is a normal file,
dir if it is a directory or other if it is neither a normal file nor a
directory, and the word readable if the file is readable by
the current user. For example, a typical output might be:
fool.c file readable
foo2.c file
foo3 other readable
progs dir readable
finfo
Code:
while getopts :t args
do
case $args in
t) print "t option: data: $OPTARG";;
esac
done
((pos = OPTIND -1))
shift $pos
PS3='option> '
if (( $# == 0 ))
then if (( $OPTIND == 1 ))
then select menu_list in dirinfo exit
do case $menu_list in
###################################################################################################
dirinfo)
print "***************************************************************************";
print "* This option shows the different files in a directory and its attributes *";
print "***************************************************************************";
print "";
print "Enter the directory name";
print "";
read dir_name;
if test -d $dir_name
then
cd $dir_name
ls -1
else
print ""
print "The name you have entered is not a directory."
print ""
fi;
print ""
print "Hit enter to continue"
read junk;;
###################################################################################################
exit) exit;;
*) print "unknown option";;
esac
done
fi
else print "extra args??: $@"
fi
You haven't said which part isn't working or what the problem is...but this will do the file type stuff for you....
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#
print "Please enter a directory name and path:"
read the_dir
cd $the_dir
for y in *
do
if [ -d $y ];then
if [ -r $y ];then ( echo "$y is a readable directory" )
else ( echo "$y is a non-readable directory")
fi
#
elif [ -f $y ];then
if [ -r $y ];then ( echo "$y is a readable file")
else ( echo "$y is a non-readable file")
fi
#
elif [ -r $y ];then ( echo "$y is a readable OTHER file")
else ( echo "$y is a non-readable OTHER file")
fi
done
You could customise the echo statements obviously but this will do what you have requested (not menu based though).
