Another bash shell to perl conversion

freak · #1 (**permalink**) 05-28-2008

Hello everyone. I am new to linux and need help again. I need help converting this bash shell to linux:

Code:

for i in `ls -l *.txt`
do
`./cnvidtf.pl $i`
`curl -u login:pswd --disable-espv -T loadfile.seq ftp://11.1.11.1`
`mysql -u login -h 11.1.11.1 -ppswd < lddocs.sql`
done

Thanks! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It looks to me that this is already a bash script although a bit peculiar. Back ticks and the ls command are superfluous. How about this:

Code:

for i in *.txt
do
    ./cnvidtf.pl $i
    curl -u login:pswd --disable-espv -T loadfile.seq ftp://11.1.11.1
    mysql -u login -h 11.1.11.1 -ppswd < lddocs.sql
done

It's not really clear that the backticks are superfluous. If each of those commands in backticks prints something which can be interpreted as a command, that command will be executed. (I'd be surprised, but that's what the script means. If it's incorrect, then posting a corrected script would be a good first step; porting erroneous code doesn't make much sense.)

If the script is indeed correct, it would help immensely to know what those commands in backticks print, and what the purpose of this script is. (Also, porting it to Perl seems misdirected to say the least, as it's using some of the most powerful and unique features of the shell.)

I meant converting the bash shell to a perl script.

Repeat: please verify that the script is correct, and if so, reveal what we can expect the output from the backticks to be like.
