Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting My for loop decides to become an infinite loop? Post 302580519 by gotreef on Thursday 8th of December 2011 07:06:43 PM

Thanks again for the response, it's greatly appreciated. My .par files are located in the same directory as sparbsq and the script. Without getting into the details of what they contain, there are 5 of them listed as:
hyp2modqkm.par, hyp2mod375m.par, hyp2modhkm.par, hyp2mod750m.par, hyp2mod1km.par

I need to run spatbsq on every image file 5 times, each time with a different .par as an input.

Hope hypothetical example v2.0 will be more clear about what I need to do. My files are:
/newyork/brooklynbridge
/newyork/brooklynbridge.hdr

I would run it roughly as follows:
./spatbsq [.par] [input] [output]
./spatbsq hyp2qkm.par /newyork/brooklynbridge /newyork/brooklynbridge.qkm
./spatbsq hyp2375m.par /newyork/brooklynbridge /newyork/brooklynbridge.375m
./spatbsq hyp2hkm.par /newyork/brooklynbridge /newyork/brooklynbridge.hkm
./spatbsq hyp2750m.par /newyork/brooklynbridge /newyork/brooklynbridge.750m
./spatbsq hyp21km.par /newyork/brooklynbridge /newyork/brooklynbridge.1km

so in regards to renaming, all I do is essentially tack on the suffix of the .par to my output file. The cp is because each of these outputs need a .hdr file of the same name. The .hdr is simply spatial information for the photo and since the brooklyn bridge doesn't really shift around, I just copy the original .hdr to one with the appropriate $res suffix.

It looks like your little script snippit solved all my problems plus I feel like I've learned a lot as well, for which I'm greatful.

One quick thing though. When you have the "while read FILE", how does it know that the FILE is the /tmp/$$ file?
