Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Send filename as variable in a shell script Post 302505235 by Corona688 on Wednesday 16th of March 2011 01:20:16 PM

Try echo "$TEMP_FILE" to make sure it's really the value you think it is.

Put $TEMP_FILE in quotes like above, because otherwise the shell will split it apart when it contains spaces.

This won't do what you think it does:
Code:
ALLFILES='ls $FILEPATH/${FILENAME}*.csv'

This sets it to the literal string "ls $FILEPATH/${FILENAME}*.csv". I think you meant to use backticks instead.

Which would be a combo useless use of ls and useless use of backticks anyway. You don't need to use ls or backticks here, the shell's flexible enough to use its own globbing directly:

Code:
for EACHFILE in $FILEPATH/${FILENAME}*.csv
do
...
done

I think that was the root problem here. You were feeding the string "ls $FILEPATH/${FILENAME}*.csv" into the program instead of looping over each file.

NAME
uri_urn - URI utilities, URN scheme SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.2 package require uri::urn ?1.1.2? uri::urn::quote url uri::urn::unquote url _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This package provides two commands to quote and unquote the disallowed characters for url using the urn scheme, registers the scheme with the package uri, and provides internal helpers which will be automatically used by the commands uri::split and uri::join of package uri to handle urls using the urn scheme. COMMANDS
uri::urn::quote url This command quotes the characters disallowed by the urn scheme (per RFC 2141 sec2.2) in the url and returns the modified url as its result. uri::urn::unquote url This commands performs the reverse of ::uri::urn::quote. It takes an urn url, removes the quoting from all disallowed characters, and returns the modified urls as its result.
