Operating Systems Linux Fedora Find Files in Directory by Permission? Post 302356154 by Feuyaer on Thursday 24th of September 2009 05:17:34 PM
Old 09-24-2009
I tried to post an image. Says a moderator needs to accept it. Ugh.

But this is making no sense. I could be done with this now if it weren't for Fedora deciding it's going to defy logic. The big line starting with Find. Right? That equals 6 for my test directory. Which is correct. That big line is what my "Count" value should be. So I decide I'll write that count to "COUNT". Then IMMEDIATELY, for the sake of testing, echo it to verify it'll spit out the right value. But nothing. It's actually NOT echoing when I'm clearly telling it to. I'm very confused.

Example: COUNT=find $directory -type f -perm 666 -print | wc -l
echo $count


and nothing displays.

Then I was like "COUNT="loltest"
echo $count

and nothing. Why aren't my values displaying now?
