Unix Korn Shell Array Issue (SunOS)
Hello,
I'm currently messing around with arrays for the first time in scripting (Unix Korn Shell). All I'm trying to do right now before I make things complicated is read through and print out to screen whether the read file is or is not a directory.
Here is my directory:
ls -l
total 16
-rwxrwxrwx 1 xrjbn3y staff 354 Nov 20 18:29 echodir
-rw-r--r-- 1 xrjbn3y staff 136 Apr 5 2006 local.cshrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 xrjbn3y staff 136 Apr 5 2006 local.cshrc.JASS.20050613104129
-rw-r--r-- 1 xrjbn3y staff 167 Apr 5 2006 local.login
-rw-r--r-- 1 xrjbn3y staff 157 Apr 5 2006 local.login.JASS.20050613104129
-rw-r--r-- 1 xrjbn3y staff 184 Apr 5 2006 local.profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 xrjbn3y staff 174 Apr 5 2006 local.profile.JASS.20050613104129
drwxr-x--- 2 xrjbn3y root 512 Nov 8 18:40 scripts
Here is my script:
#!/bin/ksh
##########
i=0
max=`ls -l . | wc -l`
set -A keiths `ls -l . | grep -v total | awk '{print $9}'`
set -A filelist `ls -l . | grep -v total | awk '{print $1}' | cut -c1`
while [ $i -le $max ]
do
print ${keiths[$i]}
if [ ${filelist[$i]} = "d" ] then
print ${filelist[$i]}
else
print 'Not A Directory'
fi
(( i=i+1 ))
done
Here are my results:
./echodir
echodir
Not A Directory
local.cshrc
Not A Directory
local.cshrc.JASS.20050613104129
Not A Directory
local.login
Not A Directory
local.login.JASS.20050613104129
Not A Directory
local.profile
Not A Directory
local.profile.JASS.20050613104129
d
scripts
./echodir[11]: test: argument expected
Not A Directory
./echodir[11]: test: argument expected
Not A Directory
./echodir[11]: test: argument expected
Not A Directory
I bolded within my script what the errors at the bottom of the result are not liking. With this being my first time using arrays, I'm not sure what needs to be corrected within the test to make sure the conditions are ok. If everything within the syntax is ok, is the script executing 3 more times for some reason? Any insight you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

NAME
CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source - read in CPANPLUS commands
SYNOPSIS
CPAN Terminal> /source /tmp/list_of_commands /tmp/more_commands
DESCRIPTION
This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that works just like your unix shells source(1) command; it reads in a file that has commands
in it to execute, and then executes them.
A sample file might look like this:
# first, update all the source files
x --update_source
# find all of my modules that are on the CPAN
# test them, and store the error log
a ^KANE$'
t *
p /home/kane/cpan-autotest/log
# and inform us we're good to go
! print "Autotest complete, log stored; please enter your commands!"
Note how empty lines, and lines starting with a '#' are being skipped in the execution.
