help needed with script that gets a filename as argument (with an if/else statement)
Hi, I am trying to create a script just to study BASH scripting, but I have some problems. I need to create a script that gets a filename as an argument. The script should behave as follows: • If the given file name already exists, inform the user and quit. • If the given file name does not exist, create an empty file by that name and inform the user. This is my start: Code:
#!/bin/sh echo "type in a filename:" read $FILENAME if .... else #filename that does not exist is created echo "The filename $FILENAME does not exist, creating empty file $FILENAME" touch $FILENAME |
