Full Discussion: Finding the right file with multiple sort criteria
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Finding the right file with multiple sort criteria Post 302911929 by LMHmedchem on Monday 4th of August 2014 03:25:44 PM

The position and width for the floats are fixed, but the second sorting criteria will not have a fixed width.

One thing I don't get at the moment is that my script seems to think that there is only one element in FILES.

If I print,

echo ${#FILES[@]}

I get 1.

If I print,

echo ${FILES[0]}

I get,

84.40_E1200_85.39_E1300_f0_r00_1300-ON-0.25_S7A_v4_47.19.1.out.txt 84.40_E1200_85.83_E1200_f0_r00_1200-ON-0.25_S7A_v4_47.19.1.out.txt

I thought that when you did something like FILES=$(ls ...) you would end up with an array if there was more than one file returned by ls. For some reason, it is treating the list of files as a single string in one element. I tried adding {OFS=" "} to the awk call, but that doesn't do anything.

For now, I can split up the single string in ${FILES[0]} on space, but it seems like I shouldn't have to do that.
