Files are present in the directory.I am not able to figure out why the ls command says no files.Could you pl. help me with this to correct the mistake
(1) As nezabudka says, try this:
But also:
or:
I would guess that either the directory ($3) is missing a component (i.e. should it be /tmp/to-be_parsed/input/JAN?) or it's mis-typed (i.e. should it be /tmp/to-be-parsed/input?)
(2) What is the point of
if $dir and $file have no wild cards? You might as well be doing:
or
In other words you have a for loop around a single file.
(3) Don't use backticks (`...`) for process substitution - use $(...). It is easier to read, allows for embedding one process substitution in another, and, unless you are using a really old shell like the one in Solaris, is recognised by all shells.
Do you risk having spaces, tab or other naughty characters in the directory name or file name? You would be safer to use "${3}/${file}" to ensure that the values are treated as a single item. if you have a for loop on items with spaces, then they will be split up and processed separately. For instance:-
I hope that this helps,
