Full Discussion: Processing extended ascii character file names in UNIX (BASH scipts)
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Processing extended ascii character file names in UNIX (BASH scipts) Post 302168886 by peli on Tuesday 19th of February 2008 04:48:12 PM

I tried a couple of different text codings that worked but I don't have iso8859-1. Isn't that the same as "western latin 1"? My system was set to UTF-8 and it worked with that echo -e "\0303\0266 command.
When I tried the "test ~ $ echo -e "ö" | od -t oC -An" I'll get this error "-bash: test: too many arguments".

About the cp command . I don't get it to work. I'm not sure how to use the code. Is this two lines:
x=$ (echo -e "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/Jazz filf\0157rval")
cp -R -n -p "$x" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler"
replacing this line:
cp -R -n -p "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/Jazz filf\0366rval" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler"?

I'll attach the complete script for your imformation:
#!/bin/bash

cp -R -n -p "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/ensembles.txt" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler"
cp -R -n -p "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/FinaleScript.dat" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler"
cp -R -n -p "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/instrument.txt" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler"
cp -R -n -p "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/MacSymbolFonts.txt" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler"
cp -R -n -p "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/pagesizes.txt" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler"
cp -R -n -p "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/Maestro filförval" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler"
cp -R -n -p "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/Jazz filförval" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler"
rm -rf "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/"

Thank's

PERLMACOS(1)						 Perl Programmers Reference Guide					      PERLMACOS(1)

NAME

       README.macos - Perl under Mac OS (Classic)

SYNOPSIS

       This document briefly describes perl under Mac OS (Classic).  If you are running perl under Mac OS X, you don't want to be here (unless you
       are in the Classic environment under Mac OS X).

       When we say "Mac OS" below, we mean Mac OS 7, 8, and 9, and not Mac OS X.

DESCRIPTION

       The latest perl source itself builds on Mac OS, with some additional pieces. Support for Mac OS is now in the perl core, and MacPerl is
       kept in close sync with regular perl releases.

       To build perl for Mac OS (as an MPW tool), you will need the addition of the macos subdirectory, distributed separately.  It includes extra
       source files, config files, and make files.  It also includes extra Mac-specific modules.

       To build the MacPerl application, you will also need the macperl directory, which includes the source files for creating the application
       itself.

       All of this is available from the development site, via HTTP (in the MacPerl Installer, which includes all the source and binaries) and
       anonymous CVS.

	       http://dev.macperl.org/

       The source is also in the main perl repository in the macperl branch (the 5.6 source is in the maint-5.6/macperl branch).

       You will also need compilers and libraries, all of them freely available.  These are linked to from the SourceForge site. Go that site for
       all things having to do with MacPerl development.

       MacPerl 5.6.1 and later are supported on Mac OS 8.1 and later, for 68040 and PowerPC architectures.  The MPW tool may be used on Mac OS
       7.5.5 and 68030 computers.

       MacPerl 5.2.0r4 is also available, on the CPAN and on SourceForge.  It is based on perl 5.004, and works with Mac OS 7.5.5 and 68030 com-
       puters.

AUTHOR

       perl was ported to Mac OS by Matthias Neeracher <neeracher@mac.com>.  It is currently maintained by Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>.
