Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Is it possible make the shell read functions 1 by 1 and calling an other function? Post 302579451 by Corona688 on Monday 5th of December 2011 06:37:37 PM

You already found and moved your FILENAME directory. The only time you'd ever delete it is when mv didn't work Smilie

If you'd tell me exactly what that function takes as inputs and exactly what it's supposed to do, I can probably find a better way.

How about this -- make a big list of things you want moved/whatever, then have your program handle this list.

Code:
while IFS="," read FILENAME DIR VAR
do
        # Skip comments
        [ "${FILENAME:0:1}" = "#" ] && continue
        # skip blank lines
        [ -z "$FILENAME" ] && continue

        function "$FILENAME" "$DIR" "$VAR"
done < ~/.thingstomove

Code:
# ~/.thingstomove
# one thing per line
# FILENAME,DIR,VAR
a,b,c
d,e,f
g,h,i
j,k,l
# skip this one
# m,n,o
p,q,r

NAME
pygettext - Python equivalent of xgettext(1) SYNOPSIS
pygettext [OPTIONS] INPUTFILE ... DESCRIPTION
pygettext is deprecated. The current version of xgettext supports many languages, including Python. pygettext uses Python's standard tokenize module to scan Python source code, generating .pot files identical to what GNU xgettext generates for C and C++ code. From there, the standard GNU tools can be used. pygettext searches only for _() by default, even though GNU xgettext recognizes the following keywords: gettext, dgettext, dcgettext, and gettext_noop. See the -k/--keyword flag below for how to augment this. OPTIONS
-a, --extract-all Extract all strings. -d, --default-domain=NAME Rename the default output file from messages.pot to name.pot. -E, --escape Replace non-ASCII characters with octal escape sequences. -D, --docstrings Extract module, class, method, and function docstrings. These do not need to be wrapped in _() markers, and in fact cannot be for Python to consider them docstrings. (See also the -X option). -h, --help Print this help message and exit. -k, --keyword=WORD Keywords to look for in addition to the default set, which are: _ You can have multiple -k flags on the command line. -K, --no-default-keywords Disable the default set of keywords (see above). Any keywords explicitly added with the -k/--keyword option are still recognized. --no-location Do not write filename/lineno location comments. -n, --add-location Write filename/lineno location comments indicating where each extracted string is found in the source. These lines appear before each msgid. The style of comments is controlled by the -S/--style option. This is the default. -o, --output=FILENAME Rename the default output file from messages.pot to FILENAME. If FILENAME is `-' then the output is sent to standard out. -p, --output-dir=DIR Output files will be placed in directory DIR. -S, --style=STYLENAME Specify which style to use for location comments. Two styles are supported: o Solaris # File: filename, line: line-number o GNU #: filename:line The style name is case insensitive. GNU style is the default. -v, --verbose Print the names of the files being processed. -V, --version Print the version of pygettext and exit. -w, --width=COLUMNS Set width of output to columns. -x, --exclude-file=FILENAME Specify a file that contains a list of strings that are not be extracted from the input files. Each string to be excluded must appear on a line by itself in the file. -X, --no-docstrings=FILENAME Specify a file that contains a list of files (one per line) that should not have their docstrings extracted. This is only useful in conjunction with the -D option above. If `INPUTFILE' is -, standard input is read. BUGS
pygettext attempts to be option and feature compatible with GNU xgettext where ever possible. However some options are still missing or are not fully implemented. Also, xgettext's use of command line switches with option arguments is broken, and in these cases, pygettext just defines additional switches. AUTHOR
