Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Is it possible make the shell read functions 1 by 1 and calling an other function? Post 302579439 by Corona688 on Monday 5th of December 2011 05:48:52 PM

Instead having 9,999 functions which do the same thing with slightly different values, just have your function take parameters.

Never use PATH as a variable. That's a special variable, changing its value will mess up tons of things.

That code couldn't possibly work. '$FILENAME' in single quotes won't expand. 'FILENAME*' won't expand properly either.

Loading a file is easy:
Code:
. configfile

Why do you have -type d in one and not in the other?

Code:
function FindMoveDelete
{
        find . -iname "${1}*.ext' -exec mv {} "${2}/${3}" \; &&
        find . -type d -iname 'FILENAME*' -exec rm -rf {} \;
}

FindMoveDelete FILENAME PATH DEST

platform::shell

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This  package  allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
       requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of  the  running  shell
       this  is  not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
       32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will  actually  run  the  installed
       packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS

       platform::shell::identify shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
	      This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
