Error creating a dir
I have this script to create a folder
Code:
#!/bin/bash
FECHA=`/bin/date +%Y%m%d`
mkdir /dir/$FECHA

Itīs work well but when I seek for the folder appears garbage.

Even if only use
Code:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir /dir/name

In the folder name only appears garbage in the name

Hi,

Do you wish to create a directory structure like /dir/bin/<yyyymmdd>?
Please try mkdir -p /dir/name

I have try mkdir -p but still have the problem

For example I want to create a folder named 20111111 but with the script the name appears _2X68O~Y

Oh so the value in variable FETCHA is not correct.
you can try like this
Code:
year=`date +%Y`
month=`date+%m`
dt=`date+%d`
newdir=$year$month$dt
echo $newdir
FETCHA=/bin/$newdir
echo $FETCHA
mkdir -p /dir$FETCHA

This should create dir /dir/bin/20111111 for you.

tnr,
Shiv
