So, my third thread here ^^ and still asking questions.
Thanks for you patience and help, I really appreciated it
I currently use a shell script to move folders of songs from one to another location on my harddrive.
I use something like this:
The problem however is that I don't have all the folders in the place the script works with.
This naturally results in cannot stat errors.
What I would be interested in now is a way to have the script just ignore any "cannot stat error message".
I know that using a "if-else" would solve the job, but since the code up there is only a small portion of the real thing it simply would be alot of work and writing (or copy and paste if you want) to do.
I hope there is something the mv command has that will help me with that.
I have to read a file line by line, change it and then update the file. Problem is, when i read the file, "read" command ignores leading spaces.
The file is a script which is indented in many places for clarity. How to i make "read" command read leading spaces as well. (3 Replies)
