echo command works as expected but not cp.
seems problem with creation of folder .
i created test-script file and tried to copy to Dest dir and it worked. However it didnt work for other files because there is no directory at Dest with the name xyz,Test,nmake !
Code:
$ /run.sh
/home/guest/source/xyz/Test/testsrc.c /home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/Test/testsrc.c
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/Test/testsrc.c': No such file or directory
/home/guest/source/xyz/nmake/build.mak /home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/nmake/build.mak
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/nmake/build.mak': No such file or directory
/home/guest/source/abc/1.c /home/guest/source/Dest/abc/1.c
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/guest/source/Dest/abc/1.c': No such file or directory
/home/guest/source/test-script /home/guest/source/Dest/test-script
Hi Franklin,
below one creates a dir "Dest" which is not required.
mkdir -p ${Dest}
Expected output was to paste a file from /home/guest/source/xyz/Test/testsrc.c to /home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/Test/
dont i need to create dir
Code:
mkdir /home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/
mkdir /home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/Test/
then testsrc.c should be copied to /home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/Test/
similarly for other two input lines
mkdir for
/home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/nmake
/home/guest/source/Dest/abc
source has many dirs and subdirs and copy as per input file (with directory structure) .

hi,
i modified the code something like this:
Code:
a=${Dest}${file}
echo "a has:"$a
# a has: /home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/Test/testsrc.c
b=`echo ${a%/*}`
echo "b value is:"$b
# b value is: /home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/Test/
# check b exists
if [ -d "${b}" ]; then
echo "does not exist ${b}"
c=`echo ${b%/*}`
if [ -d "${c}" ]; then
echo "c has :"$c
# c has : /home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/
mkdir -p $c
fi
mkdir -p $b
fi
cp ${Source}${file} ${Dest}${file}
done
However if dir (value of b) does not exist echo "does not exist ${b}" didnt pop up
i know this is not so good but i want some checks for the presence of directory , create dir c and if dir does not exist reduce one level , check the presence,create dir b and so on.Finally run cp command
with above mentioned code i got expected output ( commented out if condition) but how do i achieve for N number of dirs & subdirs
