Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to use a Shell Script for specific commands Post 302360612 by dratech09 on Friday 9th of October 2009 12:49:23 PM
Old 10-09-2009
Every time I run the command I get:
Code:
mkdir: cannot create directory `./out': File exists
mkdir: cannot create directory `./out': File exists
mkdir: cannot create directory `./out': File exists

I'm assuming this means that somethings going on to where its staying put in the folder where all the directories are, and not going through all of the different directories inside the main one.

Here is what I have:
Code:
cat folders.list | \
while read ENTRY
do
mkdir ./out && for x in *.cfm; do awk '{FS="<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name=\"title\" -->"; RS="<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->"; print "<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name=\"title\" -->" $2  "<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->"}' $x > ./out/$x; done
for x in *.cfm; do awk '{FS="<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name=\"content\" -->" ; RS="<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->"; print "<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name=\"content\" -->" $2 "<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->"}' $x >> ./out/$x; done
for x in *.cfm; do awk '{FS="<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name=\"contact\" -->" ; RS="<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->"; print "<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name=\"contact\" -->" $2 "<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->"}' $x >> ./out/$x; done
for x in *.cfm; do sed -i -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="title" -->html<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="title" -->HTML<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="title"  --><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="content" --><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="content" -->html<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="content" -->HTML<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="contact" --><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="contact" -->html<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="contact" -->HTML<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' ./out/$x; done
done

And here is what I have in my "folders.list" file:
Code:
/ag/ag1
/ag/
/file/
/account/
/yadda/

mkdir

mkdir(1)							   User Commands							  mkdir(1)

NAME

       mkdir - make directories

SYNOPSIS

       mkdir [-m mode] [-p] dir...

DESCRIPTION

       The mkdir command creates the named directories in mode 777 (possibly altered by the file mode creation mask umask(1)).

       Standard  entries  in a directory (for instance, the files ".", for the directory itself, and "..", for its parent) are made automatically.
       mkdir cannot create these entries by name. Creation of a directory requires write permission in the parent directory.

       The owner-ID and group-ID of the new directories are set to the process's effective user-ID and group-ID,  respectively.  mkdir	calls  the
       mkdir(2) system call.

   setgid and mkdir
       To change the setgid bit on a newly created directory, you must use chmod g+s or chmod g-s after executing mkdir.

       The setgid bit setting is inherited from the parent directory.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -m mode	       This option allows users to specify the mode to be used for new directories. Choices for modes can be found in chmod(1).

       -p	       With this option, mkdir creates dir by creating all the non-existing parent directories first. The mode given to intermedi-
		       ate directories will be the difference between 777 and the bits set in the file mode creation mask.  The  difference,  how-
		       ever, must be at least 300 (write and execute permission for the user).

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       dir	A path name of a directory to be created.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mkdir when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using mkdir

       The following example:

       example% mkdir -p ltr/jd/jan

       creates the subdirectory structure ltr/jd/jan.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See  environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of mkdir: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MES-
       SAGES, and NLSPATH.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	All the specified directories were created successfully or the -p option was specified	and  all  the  specified  directories  now
		exist.

       >0	An error occurred.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
