find & dirname:problems with white spaces in Directories
Hi all,
my problem:
(little extract from my bash-script)
I want to move each file (.mov) from one directory (and many Subdirectories) to another directory (only one);
after moving i want to create hardlinks to the old directories.
Thatīs no problem, but now:
source-directories includes (not all) white spaces (i.e. /Capture Scratch/)
I have tried:
Thatīs ok without white spaces. basename/dirname doesnīt work with white space. My experiments with sed wasnīt successfully.
Can someone help me?
Thank you
tubian.
How would I delete white spaces in a specified file?
Also, I'd like to know what command I would use to take something off a regular expression, and put it onto another.
ie.
.
.
.
expression1 <take_off>
.
.
.
expression2 (put here)
.
.

Any help would be great, thanks! (10 Replies)

atf-sh
ATF-SH(1) BSD General Commands Manual ATF-SH(1)NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs
SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script
DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library.
atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter-
preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not
use any non-standard extensions.
The following options are available:
-s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL.
ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a
specific interpreter.
EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with:
#! /usr/bin/env atf-sh
Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode
the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter:
#! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash
ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.
