Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Can't find the bug in my code - bombing with rename Post 302986898 by Corona688 on Thursday 1st of December 2016 12:47:20 PM

When you say "bombing out", what exactly happens?

I see a few suspect things in here. Particularly if [[ -f *.* ]], which will bomb out when there's more than one file, -f only accepts a single name.

Also, *.* is a DOS-ism, all that's needed in UNIX is *

A better way to do it, I think, would be:

Code:
set -- *
if [ ! -z "$1" ]
then
        cat * > $FDM_Inbox/$Location_Name/"A~$LoadRule_Name~$MMM-$Output_Year~RR.txt"
fi

NAME
rd-bomb - reaction/diffusion textures SYNOPSIS
rd-bomb [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-width n] [-height n] [-reaction n] [-diffusion n] [-size f] [-speed f] [-delay usecs] DESCRIPTION
The rd-bomb program draws reaction/diffusion textures. The code is derived from the 'd' mode of the "bomb" visual musical instrument (see http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~spot/bomb.html). I got the equations from xmorphia (http://www.ccsf.caltech.edu/ismap/image.html), which is based on a version of the Gray-Scott model taken from: John E. Pearson "Complex Patterns in a Simple System" Science, 261,189, 9 July 1993. If the frame-rate is too low, consider decreasing the width and height of the tile, or decreasing the size of the active part of the screen. OPTIONS
If one of the reaction, diffusion, radius, and palette options is set to a negative value, then that option will be set to a random appro- priate value. Be sure to try "-speed 1 -size 0.1 -epoch 3000". rd-bomb accepts the following options: -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. -root Draw on the root window. -install Install a private colormap for the window. -visual visual Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. -width n -height n Specify the size of the tile, in pixels. -reaction n -diffusion n These are constants in the equations that effect its visual nature. Each may be one of 0, 1, or 2. -radius n Size of the seed. -palette n Selects a palette. Must be between 0 and 80, inclusive. -size f What fraction of the window is actively drawn, a floating point number between 0 (exclusive) and 1 (inclusive). Default is 0.66. -speed f When a fraction of the screen is active, the active area moves at this rate (a floating point number). Default is zero. Suggested value: 1.0. -delay usecs How many microseconds to delay between frames; default 1000, or about 1/1000th of a second. ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY to get the default host and display number. XENVIRONMENT to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. SEE ALSO
