Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Is it possible make the shell read functions 1 by 1 and calling an other function? Post 302579459 by Sekullos on Monday 5th of December 2011 06:50:50 PM

Well as mentionned above it's like that :

You misread.

At first I only move file with a specific extension (.ext) and if it succeeds, deletes the directory it was contained it.

For now the code is like this
Code:
 
#!/bin/sh

FindMoveDelete()
{
find . -iname "$FILENAME*.ext" -exec mv {} "$DIR/$SUBDIR" \; &&
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -iname "FILENAME*" -exec rm -rf {} \;
}

Function1()
{
FILENAME=name.of.file.and.dir
DIR="/volume1/my/dir"
SUBDIR=Subname
FindMoveDelete
}

Function1
Function2
Function3

What it does :
Move the files "name.of.file.and.dir*.ext" to "/volume1/my/dir/Subname" and then delete the directory "name.of.file.and.dir*"

I call every functions manualy and each of them contains the function FindMoveDelete.
It kinda looks ugly but it works. If you have a better idea I m all hears, at first I only wanted to run a file containing each of those functions for a script to read and end at the end of the file (loop?)

Anyways don't go knock your head on a wall for this, it was just a simple question at first. it's working as it is Smilie

Edit : Just took an other look at your last bit of code and it's interesting. Playing with IFS.. I ll test it out!
Thanks mate

NAME
shell - run a command using shell SYNOPSIS
shell command [command] ... DESCRIPTION
The shell function concatenate its arguments, separating each by a space, and passes this string to the shell ($SHELL if set, otherwise /usr/bin/sh). EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample output of shell command. Since the Form and Menu Language does not directly support background processing, the shell function can be used instead. `shell "build prog > /dev/null &"` If you want the user to continue to be able to interact with the application while the background job is running, the output of an exe- cutable run by shell in the background must be redirected: to a file if you want to save the output, or to /dev/null if you don't want to save it (or if there is no output), otherwise your application may appear to be hung until the background job finishes processing. shell can also be used to execute a command that has the same name as an FMLI built-in function. NOTES
The arguments to shell will be concatenate using spaces, which may or may not do what is expected. The variables set in local environments will not be expanded by the shell because "local" means "local to the current process." ATTRIBUTES
