How to Get the File Input from Parameter
Code:
pdir=`pwd`
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
 echo current directory $pdir
 ls -altr
 echo
fi
for f in $*
do
    # directory
    if [ -d $f ]; then
      echo current directory $f
      cd $f
      ls -latr
      echo
    fi

    # but you can test file/dir
    # regular file only
    if [ -f $f ]; then
      echo current directory $pdir
      ls -altr $f
      echo
    fi

done

i have a basic code on shell script that accepts parameter for directory name with or without a filename or extension file name.

if i enter this below on the command line
Code:
sh dir_file_list.sh /u02/app/eatv/dev/out/*.txt

it give me this output:
Code:
current directory /export/home/ccalftdv/apps
-rw-r--r--    1 ccalftdv ccalogrp          7 Jun 30 09:30 /u02/app/eatv/dev/out/
sample.txt

$

how do i capture the string *.txt or the filename on the input parameter? thanks.
