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

dh_usrlocal

DH_USRLOCAL(1)							     Debhelper							    DH_USRLOCAL(1)

NAME

       dh_usrlocal - migrate usr/local directories to maintainer scripts

SYNOPSIS

       dh_usrlocal [debhelperoptions] [-n]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_usrlocal is a debhelper program that can be used for building packages that will provide a subdirectory in /usr/local when installed.

       It finds subdirectories of usr/local in the package build directory, and removes them, replacing them with maintainer script snippets
       (unless -n is used) to create the directories at install time, and remove them when the package is removed, in a manner compliant with
       Debian policy. These snippets are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of
       debhelper maintainer script snippets.

       When the Rules-Requires-Root field is not (effectively) binary-targets, the directories in /usr/local will have ownership root:staff and
       the mode will be 02775.	These values have been chosen to comply with the recommendations of the Debian policy for directories in
       /usr/local.

       When Rules-Requires-Root has an effective value of binary-targets, the owners, groups and permissions will be preserved with one exception.
       If the directory is owned by root:root, then ownership will be reset to root:staff and mode will be reset to 02775. This is useful, since
       that is the group and mode policy recommends for directories in /usr/local.

OPTIONS

       -n, --no-scripts
	   Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
       instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

CONFORMS TO

       Debian policy, version 2.2

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
