I think I might have this figured out:

#!/usr/bin/sh
echo -n > C:/Test/File
for file in P*
do
echo "[CTO][GSR]/ / /|ql|[CTE]
[DOWN]" >> C:/Test/File
done
cd usr/tmp
for file in *

Is there any way to edit this script so that it is compatible with sh?

That's correct, I wrote this as a bash script, but when I tried running it today at work it wouldn't run, so I changed it to sh.

I thought that the syntax was very similar. I thought that bash...

I am just learning over here unix scripting and the OS in general.

I wrote this script (with some great help from you guys here) when I test at my desktop with cygwin it works fine, but when I...

Perfect, thank you!

I must have looked over all the options on find at least three times and for some reason I never caught the -maxdepth option.

Right, but it's recursive, I want it to only find files in the present directory, not sub-directories. And I can't specifically name the directories that I want to omit, because they will be...

Aha, perfect, thank you very much!

I am just having one final problem. I don't want the find to look through all sub-directories. I did a search and someone came up with this idea, but I can't...

Right, but I need it to write it to the file without overwriting what is already there. Here is my code:

#!/bin/bash
fileArray=($(find . -name 'P*' -type f))
tLen=${#fileArray[@]}
for (( i=0;...

Is there any way to write to a text file with scripting? I need to write to a text file two lines of text for the amount of files in the current directory.

Very nice!

Thank you!

I am trying to write a script that first copies all the directories and files from the current directory into a new Directory. I get and error "Cannot copy directory into itself". That's fine. I...

Come to think of it, all I need the script to do is copy all the files that were modified after Jan 1, 2008 to a new folder.

I have this script someone very kindly help me write last year which loops through all files in a folder and does a command.

I need to modify it to loop through all sub-folders of a main folder...

Hi Porter and drl,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The sh script worked!

You guys are right, forget about tcsh. I was under the impression that if my shell is tcsh I can't run an sh script....

So should I just run it the way it is or should I change the first line to:

#!/bin/tcsh

But that won't work in tcsh, right?

I have an export utility that exports documents from the native file to text. This is the way I would run it from the command line:

expage "file" > "file.txt

I am trying to loop through all the...

OK, Ive done a little research and this should be the syntax for tcsh:

#!/usr/bin/env tcsh

foreach file ($*)
set newname="$file.txt"
export "$file" /> "$newname"
end

The only thing I...

OK, I think we are getting somewhere.

With ksh I got syntax error line 7 done unexpected
With sh I got syntax error line 4 ( unexpected.

OK, this is the exact script I am running, I just get a "command not found". Any ideas?

#!/bin/tcsh
ls | while read FILE; do
NEWFILE=${LINE##* }
echo $(date +%H:%M) expage "$FILE" \>...

OK, I am going to try this tomorrow...

The P before the file name is the way ProType recognizes its files like a file extension of some sort (I apologize I know very little about UNIX). I need the...

I posted this in the Solaris forum, but I don't think it's platform specific, so I'm posting it here.

Here is the situation. We are a company that has been using a professional publishing system,...

I'm sorry this took so long.

Ok, yes, it is in fact a command line utility. If I were to be doing it now I would do this:

1) Type: cd /bedford6:/export

2) Then I would type the directory of...

Thank you, that's very nice of you to write the code for us.

It looks like I should be putting the folder name where the * and myProTypeConverter is the variable that holds the command to run the...

Here is the situation. We are a company that has been using a professional publishing system, the software is called "ProType". It runs on Solaris 2.4, however it is no longer supported and we are...
