Not able to assign a value to variable
Hi Experts,
I am facing some problem while developing the script.My input config.csv file contains the three columns namely pathname,filename,filetype.Based on the file type i have to use ftp command that is if filetype=csv then do ftp.
The input file is
HTML Code:
cat config.csv
pathname,filename,filetype
/home/fir/dir,filename1,csv
/home/fir1/dir,filename2,csv
/home/fir4/dir,filename3,csv
/home/fir/dir6,filename4,dat
To achieve this i have developed the following script:
HTML Code:
#!/bin/ksh
head -5 config.csv | while read line
do
Type1=`echo $line | awk -F"," '{print $3}'`
Type=`echo $Type1 | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`
if [ $Type == 'csv' ]
then
DataFileName=`echo $line | awk -F"," '{print $2}'`
DataPath=`echo $line| awk -F"," '{print $1}'`
echo $DataPath
slash=`echo '\'`
filelocation=`echo $DataPath$slash$DataFileName`
echo do sftp -n
fi
done
Now the problem is that the value of DataPath variable is coming as
HTML Code:
echo $DataPath
homefirdir
Some how the slashes are getting removed.
How can we achieve the variable value as '/home/fir/dir ' and pass it to ftp command?
Thanks in Advance!

opendir - Open directory handle
SYNOPSIS
resource opendir (string $path, [resource $context])
DESCRIPTION
Opens up a directory handle to be used in subsequent closedir(3), readdir(3), and rewinddir(3) calls.
PARAMETERS
o $path
- The directory path that is to be opened
o $context
- For a description of the $context parameter, refer to the streams section of the manual.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a directory handle resource on success, or FALSE on failure.
If $path is not a valid directory or the directory can not be opened due to permission restrictions or filesystem errors, opendir(3)
returns FALSE and generates a PHP error of level E_WARNING. You can suppress the error output of opendir(3) by prepending '@' to the front
of the function name.
CHANGELOG
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
|Version | |
| | |
| | Description |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
| 5.0.0 | |
| | |
| | $path supports the ftp:// URL wrapper. |
| | |
| 4.3.0 | |
| | |
| | $path can also be any URL which supports direc- |
| | tory listing, however only the file:// URL wrap- |
| | per supports this in PHP 4 |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
EXAMPLES
Example #1
opendir(3) example
<?php
$dir = "/etc/php5/";
// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($dir . $file) . "
";
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
filename: . : filetype: dir
filename: .. : filetype: dir
filename: apache : filetype: dir
filename: cgi : filetype: dir
filename: cli : filetype: dir
