Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Bash to check directory and create missing folder from file Post 303039307 by cmccabe on Monday 30th of September 2019 10:49:54 AM

set x showed the same as the previous post, I initially thought there may be multiple files so used a for, but quickly realized that wasn't going to work. Is there a better approach? Thank you Smilie.

Code:
for f in "$DIR"/all ; do
>     STRING=$(awk -v ref="/$S5/" 'match($0, ref) {print $2}' "$f")
>     if [[ $nl$folders$nl != *$n$STRING/$nl* ]] ## only execute file on match
>     then
>        mkdir -p $STRING 
>     fi
> done
+ for f in '"$DIR"/f1'
++ awk -v ref=/R_2019_00_00_00_00_00_xxxx_x0-00000-123/ 'match($0, ref) {print $2}' /home/cmccabe/Desktop/new/f1
+ STRING=
+ [[ 

 != */
* ]]
+ mkdir -p

AUGPARSE(1)							      Augeas							       AUGPARSE(1)

NAME
augparse - execute an Augeas module SYNOPSIS
augparse [OPTIONS] MODULE DESCRIPTION
Execute an Augeas module, most commonly to evaluate the tests it contains. OPTIONS
-I DIR Add DIR to the module loadpath. Can be given multiple times. The directories set here are searched before any directories specified in the AUGEAS_LENS_LIB environment variable, and before the default directory /usr/share/augeas/lenses. --nostdinc Do not search any of the default directories for modules. When this option is set, only directories specified explicitly with -I or specified in AUGEAS_LENS_LIB will be searched for modules. --notypecheck Do not perform lens type checks. Only use this option during lens development and make sure you typecheck lenses when you are done developing - you should never use a lens that hasn't been typechecked. This option is sometimes useful when you are working on unit tests for a lens to speed up the time it takes to repeatedly run and fix tests. --version Print version information and exit. -h Display this help and exit EXAMPLES
To run the tests in lenses/tests/test_foo.aug and use modules from the directory lenses, run augparse -I lenses lenses/tests/test_foo.aug TESTS
Tests can appear as top-level forms anywhere in a module. Generally, the tests for a module lenses/foo.aug are kept in a separate file, usually in lenses/tests/test_foo.aug. There are two different kinds of tests that Augeas can run: get and put tests. The syntax for get tests is test LENS get STRING = RESULT which applies the get direction of the lens LENS to STRING and compares it with the given RESULT. RESULT can either be a tree literal, the symbol ? to print the result of applying LENS to STRING, or the symbol * to indicate that the test should produce an exception. The syntax for put tests is test LENS put STRING after COMMANDS = RESULT which first applies the get direction of the lens LENS to STRING, then applies the given COMMANDS to the resulting tree, and finally transforms the modified tree back to a string using the put direction of LENS. The resulting string is then compared to RESULT, which can be a string, the symbol ? to print the result of applying LENS to STRING, or the symbol * to indicate that the test should produce an exception.
