Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Processing extended ascii character file names in UNIX (BASH scipts) Post 302168129 by peli on Sunday 17th of February 2008 07:25:01 AM

Thank's. I tried the echo command in the terminal and it works with the regular carachter's but not with the extended.
The script doesn't work either. I did the following to test the script. First an explaining what the script is doing.
It put files in Library—>Application Support and then moves them to the Application folder if there's no such files. It don't overwrite. This is also working with files without accentuated letters.
So, I did used the letter lowercase "o" instead wich have the octal code "0157" like this:
#!/bin/bash
cp -R -n -p "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/Jazz filf\0157rval" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler".


The script didn't respond to this, so it seems to me that octal ascii code doesn't work in this kind of script?
