Code:
Name,Team,Shop,Shoe
etc,etc,etc,etc
Code:
Code:
sep=","
{
while IFS=$sep read Name Team Shop Shoe
do
count=1
dirname=$Name
while [ -d "$dirname" ]
do
((count++))
dirname="${Name}$count"
done
mkdir -p $dirname/{Personal,Food,Pictures}
#(1)
echo "Hello my name is $Name i play for $Team i shop at $Shop and my shoe size is $Shoe" < $dirname/Personal/starter.txt
done } <$file_name
When using the mkdir command to make the directories based on $dirname it works perfectly and i get all directories made based on each name, however when trying to Echo text into a file called starter.txt it gives me an error says the file or name doesn't exist. I'm trying to get it to generate ths file for every user. This is the full error
Code:
Paul/Personal/starter.txt: No such file or directory

mvdir
mvdir(1M) System Administration Commands mvdir(1M)NAME
mvdir - move a directory
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mvdir dirname name
DESCRIPTION
mvdir moves directories within a file system. dirname must be a directory. If name does not exist, it will be created as a directory. If
name does exist, and is a directory, dirname will be created as name/dirname. dirname and name may not be on the same path; that is, one
may not be subordinate to the other. For example:
example% mvdir x/y x/z
is legal, but
example% mvdir x/y x/y/z
is not.
OPERANDS
dirname The name of the directory that is to be moved to another directory in the filesystem.
name The name of the directory into which dirname is to be moved. If name does not exist, it will be created. It may not be on
the same path as dirname.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mvdir when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
EXIT STATUS
0 Successful operation.
>0 Operation failed.
