How to read a directory as parameter in shell script?
Hi All,

I have written a shell script to compile an oracle R12 form and also a procedure is called from it. The procedure registers the form, function and creates a menu entry.

I took directory as a parameter. Code is as below:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
echo "**********************************************************************"
echo "Uploading Form"
echo "**********************************************************************"
 
#Assign default values
CUSTOM_FORM_PATH_DEFAULT=$PER_TOP/forms/US
 
echo "Enter Application Forms Path"
read CUSTOM_FORM_PATH 
if [[ -z ${CUSTOM_FORM_PATH} ]]; then 
  CUSTOM_FORM_PATH=${CUSTOM_FORM_PATH_DEFAULT} 
  echo "Default value ${CUSTOM_FORM_PATH} is considered"
fi 
 
if [ ! -d $CUSTOM_FORM_PATH ]; then 
  echo "Path not found"
  exit 1
fi
 
.............................................

When i give the complete path as /gl02libs/applvis/apps/apps_st/appl/per/12.0.0/forms/US it works.
But if i give as $PER_TOP/forms/US, it comes to the second if block and says path not found

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Veena
