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
info - read Info documents SYNOPSIS
info [OPTION]... [MENU-ITEM...] DESCRIPTION
Read documentation in Info format. OPTIONS
--apropos=STRING look up STRING in all indices of all manuals. -d, --directory=DIR add DIR to INFOPATH. --dribble=FILENAME remember user keystrokes in FILENAME. -f, --file=FILENAME specify Info file to visit. -h, --help display this help and exit. --index-search=STRING go to node pointed by index entry STRING. -n, --node=NODENAME specify nodes in first visited Info file. -o, --output=FILENAME output selected nodes to FILENAME. -R, --raw-escapes output "raw" ANSI escapes (default). --no-raw-escapes output escapes as literal text. --restore=FILENAME read initial keystrokes from FILENAME. -O, --show-options, --usage go to command-line options node. --subnodes recursively output menu items. -w, --where, --location print physical location of Info file. --vi-keys use vi-like and less-like key bindings. --version display version information and exit. The first non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to start from; it is searched for in all `dir' files along INFOPATH. If it is not present, info merges all `dir' files and shows the result. Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu items relative to the initial node visited. EXAMPLES
info show top-level dir menu info emacs start at emacs node from top-level dir info emacs buffers start at buffers node within emacs manual info --show-options emacs start at node with emacs' command line options info -f ./foo.info show file ./foo.info, not searching dir REPORTING BUGS
