"$schemaExtractDir/SchemaExtract"
"$schemaExtractDir/SQL"
"$schemaExtractDir/Count"
"$schemaExtractDir/SchExtArchive"
if [ -d "$schemaExtractDir/SchemaExtract" ]; then
print "SchemaExtract directory exists"
else
mkdir -p "$schemaExtractDir/SchemaExtract" 2>/dev/null
chmod 755 "$schemaExtractDir/SchemaExtract"
fi
If any of these directories are missing; then I need to create the missing directory and print a message to stdout,"creating missing directory "/var/tmp/Count".
Can I check for multiple directories within the red part , if so how do i do it
basically to check multiple directories, then you have to put your script inside a loop (so it runs the script several times - each time running it against a different directory)
The loop needs two parts to it:
1/ the loop itself (using
for command)
2/ the directory name selector (using
case to select which directory name to pass to your script per iteration of the loop)
I've probably still explained this very badly.
