Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Check if file exists, create new file? Post 302271255 by solarnoise on Wednesday 24th of December 2008 12:00:14 PM

Padow, thanks so much for replying but I actually JUST figure it out shortly after I posted..

I messed up the part where I add one to the X variable, it should be this:
X=$(( X + 1 ))

The script works now! It starts with file_Dec_24_2008 and adds one to the filename from there.

The problem though is it's creating a LOT of processes...like over a hundred...is that normal?

NAME
addrdsfig - adds a figure ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/ E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr SYNOPSYS
#include"rdsnnn.h" rdsfig_list *addrdsfig( Name, Size ) char *Name; unsigned int Size; PARAMETER
Name Name of the figure to add to the figures's list. Size Size of the user structure (if defined) added to the rdsrec_list structure. DESCRIPTION
The addrdsfig function adds a new figure called 'Name' to the head of figures's list and becomes itself the list head (HEAD_RDSFIG pointer). The field NAME of the figure is set to 'Name'. The field SIZE of the figure is set to 'Size'. The field MODE of the figure is set to 'A'. Note : Name allocation is done with the namealloc() MBK function. If user structure isn't defined, the user has to set parameter 'Size' to 0L. RETURN VALUE
Pointer to the newly created figure.It's also the HEAD_RDSFIG pointer. ERRORS
"Rds202: rdsalloc error, can't continue !" it's impossible to allocate the memory size desired EXAMPLE
#include "mutnnn.h" #include "rdsnnn.h" #include "rtlnnn.h" typedef struct UserStruct { char *STRING; void *USER1; } UserStruct; main() { rdsfig_list *RdsFigure; mbkenv(); rdsenv(); loadrdsparam(); RdsFigure = addrdsfig ("core",sizeof ( UserStruct ) ); printf("FIGURE NAME = %s ",RdsFigure->NAME); /* The new figure is head of figure list */ printf("HEAD_RDSFIG : FIGURE NAME = %s ",HEAD_RDSFIG->NAME); } SEE ALSO
