The script was built to accept 1 parameter only as that was the initial requirement. "Desktop Documents" is treated as 1 directory containing a whitespace.
Here is the updated script, which will accepts more than one parameter:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo "no directory provided as parameter. minimum 1 directory required."
exit 1
fi
for dirname in "$@"
do
echo "CHECKING $dirname..."
echo -n "SIZE: "
du -s "$dirname"
echo -n "FILES: "
find "$dirname" -type f | wc -l
echo -n "DIRECTORIES: "
find "$dirname" -type d | wc -l
echo
done
Now you can test with ./test.sh Desktop Documents
If you want to check Desktop, Documents and a folder called My Files, then test it with ./test.sh Desktop Documents "My Files"
Thank you very much
I'm sorry to bother you but i have also a question
Now i want to implement parameters in my script for example the help function i have this some code for the help function but there is something wrong
Code:
# Check paramaters
if [ -z "$1" ] ; then
echo $Help
exit
fi
# Arguments
while [[ -n "$@" ]]
do
case "$1" in
-h|--help)
# Help
echo "This is the help function"
echo $Help
exit
then i want also a parameter -d that shows all subfolders of the specified folder (s) it in the list.
can you help me with this parameter ?
Thank you very much to help me

LEARN ABOUT PHP
basename
BASENAME(3) 1 BASENAME(3)basename - Returns trailing name component of pathSYNOPSIS
string basename (string $path, [string $suffix])
DESCRIPTION
Given a string containing the path to a file or directory, this function will return the trailing name component.
PARAMETERS
o $path
- A path. On Windows, both slash ( /) and backslash ( ) are used as directory separator character. In other environments, it is
the forward slash ( /).
o $suffix
- If the name component ends in $suffix this will also be cut off.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the base name of the given $path.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
basename(3) example
<?php
echo "1) ".basename("/etc/sudoers.d", ".d").PHP_EOL;
echo "2) ".basename("/etc/sudoers.d").PHP_EOL;
echo "3) ".basename("/etc/passwd").PHP_EOL;
echo "4) ".basename("/etc/").PHP_EOL;
echo "5) ".basename(".").PHP_EOL;
echo "6) ".basename("/");
?>
The above example will output:
1) sudoers
2) sudoers.d
3) passwd
4) etc
5) .
6)
NOTES
Note
basename(3) operates naively on the input string, and is not aware of the actual filesystem, or path components such as " ..".
Note
basename(3) is locale aware, so for it to see the correct basename with multibyte character paths, the matching locale must be set
using the setlocale(3) function.
