For some reason read -e isn't working in my script. I need a directory as input from a user and I'd like for them to be able to use tab complete which is why I'm using -e. When the script is run, I get:
read: line 6: illegal option -e
In order to just figure out what is going on with the -e option I made a small test script that gives the error:
Anyone know why I would be getting the illegal option -e?
or is there another way to get tab complete for the user input?
I'm trying to get the size of each file, but when I try to use
stat -c %s <file>
I get the message
stat: illegal option -- c
Also, the man page for stat shows readlink,stat. It doesn't seem to match the man pages I've seen online.
what is going on here? (6 Replies)
