.KSH Script Help
Hi,

I have a Kornshell Script which I want to execute on a directory with a series of files;

eg.

XXXX.shp
XXXX_MSLINK.shp
YYYY.shp
YYYY_MSLINK.shp
ZZZZ.shp
ZZZZ_MSLINK.shp
ect.

I want to add a condition to my for loop. I only want my for loop to run when I have files which can be translated against each other. For example,

in my inputdirectory I only want my loop to run when I have files XXXX.shp and XXXX_MSLINK.shp ect. in the inputdirectory.

I DO NOT want my for loop to run when I'm missing files. For example,

in my input directory I DO NOT want my loop to run when I have XXXX.shp and no corresponding XXXX_mslink.shp. Or XXXX_mslink.shp and NO XXXX.shp. Instead I could have a message box pop up with a message to the user with the option to terminate the program.

My Code:

Code:
 
# enter do loop and translate each .shp file in the InputDirectory
for file in $InputDirectory/*.shp
do
    base=`basename $file.shp`
    if [ -e  ${base}_mslink.shp ] 
    then
 # strip off path
 fname=${file##*/}
 # strip off extention
 fname=${fname%.*}
 print |tee -a -i $WorkingDirectory/change.txt
 print "translating $fname.shp from shape to shape"  |tee -a -i $WorkingDirectory/change.txt
 print "======================"  |teje -a -i $WorkingDirectory/change.txt
 # *executes desired translation    
fi
done


Any help would be greatly appreciated as this code doesnt seem to be working.

Thanks,

Beery

dtk_create_circle_str

DTK_CREATE_CIRCLE_STR(3)					Draw Toolkit manual					  DTK_CREATE_CIRCLE_STR(3)

NAME

       dtk_create_circle_str - Create and modify circular strip

SYNOPSIS

       #include <drawtk.h>

       dtk_hshape dtk_create_circle_str(dtk_hshape shp,
		       float cx, float cy, float r, float thick,
		       const float *color, unsigned int numpoints);

DESCRIPTION

       dtk_create_circle_str()	creates an approximation of a circular strip of radius r centered at (cx,cy) using num_points vertices. The radius
       r is always referred to the outer circle.

       thick represents the thickness of the strip. If thick is negative or greater than r, the call fails.

       shp and color have the same usage and meaning as for other shape creation function:

	* shp can be used to modify a previously created shape. If it is non-null, the handle will be used to modify the shape referenced by  shp.
	  If shp is NULL, the function will attempt to create a new shape.

	* color should point to a 4 float array containing a normalized RGBA value (i.e. each component is between 0.0 and 1.0).

RETURN VALUE

       In  case  of  success these functions return the handle to the newly created or modified shape. If the shp argument is non-null, the handle
       returned is the same value. In case of error, NULL is returned. If thick is negative or greater than r, NULL is returned.
