Full Discussion: Bash function failing with [: too many arguments
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Bash function failing with [: too many arguments Post 303004913 by jakeroberts on Tuesday 10th of October 2017 08:18:12 PM
Old 10-10-2017
I found the problem. I really, really hope someone can explain it. The top line does not work. The bottom one does. I manually typed the top line in. I copied and pasted the bottom line from the scripts supplied with the book. The quote marks look different. What in the world is going on here? I'm doing this on KDE Neon and in vim.

Code:
for directory in "$ourpath"
for directory in “$ourpath”

glortho

GLORTHO(3G)							   OpenGL Manual						       GLORTHO(3G)

NAME

       glOrtho - multiply the current matrix with an orthographic matrix

C SPECIFICATION

       void glOrtho(GLdouble left, GLdouble right, GLdouble bottom, GLdouble top, GLdouble nearVal, GLdouble farVal);

PARAMETERS

       left, right
	   Specify the coordinates for the left and right vertical clipping planes.

       bottom, top
	   Specify the coordinates for the bottom and top horizontal clipping planes.

       nearVal, farVal
	   Specify the distances to the nearer and farther depth clipping planes. These values are negative if the plane is to be behind the
	   viewer.

DESCRIPTION

       glOrtho describes a transformation that produces a parallel projection. The current matrix (see glMatrixMode()) is multiplied by this
       matrix and the result replaces the current matrix, as if glMultMatrix() were called with the following matrix as its argument:

       2 right - left 0 0 t x 0 2 top - bottom 0 t y 0 0 -2 farVal - nearVal t z 0 0 0 1

       where t x = - right + left right - leftt y = - top + bottom top - bottomt z = - farVal + nearVal farVal - nearVal

       Typically, the matrix mode is GL_PROJECTION, and left bottom - nearVal and right top - nearVal specify the points on the near clipping
       plane that are mapped to the lower left and upper right corners of the window, respectively, assuming that the eye is located at (0, 0, 0).
       - farVal specifies the location of the far clipping plane. Both nearVal and farVal can be either positive or negative.

       Use glPushMatrix() and glPopMatrix() to save and restore the current matrix stack.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if left = right, or bottom = top, or near = far.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glOrtho is executed between the execution of glBegin() and the corresponding execution of glEnd().
