Shell Programming and Scripting

I've a bunch of repository dumps that I need to include in my shell script to restore from the dump, but first I need to create the repositories first. How do I extract the names of the repository and removing the *.dump for use of the following line?

Code:

bash-3.00$ ls
andromeda.dump
alias.dump
broken.dump
calibre.dump
...

and I need to execute this commands

Code:

bash-3.00$ svnadmin create andromeda
bash-3.00$ svnadmin load andromeda </opt/vendor/svn/backups/andromeda.dump &

and repeat this for a few hundred repositories.

My guess is I need to use sed or awk to transform and omit the ".dump" first?

Not tested:

Code:

for dump in *.dump
do
    repo=$( basename $dump '.dump' )
    echo svnadmin create $repo
    ( echo "svnadmin load $repo < /opt/vendor/svn/backups/$dump" && echo "$(date) $repo restore done" ) &
done

If the commands echoed look ok, un-echo the svnadmin commands.

I tested the script and it doesn't omit off the *.dump.

Ah, yes, missed something on the basename line. Fixed in the above post.

Perfect! Exactly what I needed! Thanks! :-)
