Full Discussion: Variable loses value outside loop
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Variable loses value outside loop Post 303004502 by Corona688 on Tuesday 3rd of October 2017 11:52:58 AM

I'm curious about this:

Code:
find . -type f \! -name tasty.tar | $AWK -F/ '{print $NF}' | while IFS= read -r entry; do

And then you search for $entry later ... why not just search for tasty.tar?

How about:

Code:
entry=$(find . -name 'tasty.tar' -type f)
if [ ! -f "$entry" ]
then
        echo "tasty.tar not found" >&2
        exit 1
fi

entry=$(basename "$entry")
