Having problems copying a file from a script
Hello. Complete newbie over here, and I'm hoping you can help me out with this problem. The script copies a file to a directory within my home dir. Permissions are ok and the source file exists. If I execute the cp command from the command line or hardcode the path/file name, it works. (lines ommited for readability) Code:
fileName=$1 source="/p/cpt/validation/HS/cpt/models/"$fileName"/rtl/cpt/dangling/list.report" destination="~/averdugo/CPT_FILES/"$fileName".txt" cp $source $destination I think the problem is with the fileName variable because when I execute the program with sh -x option, I see: Code:
+ source=/p/cpt/validation/HS/cpt/models/v081023/rtl/cpt/dangling/list.report + destination=~/averdugo/CPT_FILES/v081023.txt + echo /p/cpt/validation/HS/cpt/models/v081023/rtl/cpt/dangling/list.report /p/cpt/validation/HS/cpt/models/v081023/rtl/cpt/dangling/list.report + echo '~/averdugo/CPT_FILES/v081023.txt' ~/averdugo/CPT_FILES/v081023.txt + cp /p/cpt/validation/HS/cpt/models/v081023/rtl/cpt/dangling/list.report '~/averdugo/CPT_FILES/v081023.txt' cp: cannot create regular file `~/averdugo/CPT_FILES/v081023.txt': No such file or directory As you can see from the statements above, there are single quotes around the destination variable '~/averdugo/CPT_FILES/v081023.txt' I have no idea where they came from.  All your help is much appreciated. Angel |
