Shell Script need help
Hi pals,


I have a wriiten a shell script which is connects to remote server and get some selected

files.In my present working directory, i have the following 6 files. Out of 6 files , i

need to copy only 4 excluding the file(s) containing "tar" as part of the filename.


$pwd
/home/manu
$ls -1 req_*
req_detail_QAU.dat
req_detail_SAM.dat
req_detail_SJC.dat
req_detail_TAM.dat
req_detail_tAr.dat
HI pals,

I need some help



I need to copy those file other than "req_detail_tAr.dat" & "req_detail_TAR.dat".
i.e i need to get only 4 files. out of above four.




vi test

TEST()
{
ftp -n -v -i <<-EOF
open 192.168.1.139
user maheshv choice#123
lcd $HOME/[00000.SCORE]/
mget < (ls -1 req_detail*|grep -iv "tar")
bye
EOF
}
TEST


$

But it is copying all the files. Basically what is happening is mget is taking input
from (ls -1 req_detail) but not ("ls -1 req_detail*|grep -iv "tar").
But why it is behaving like this.

Any comments will be appreciable.


Thanks in advance.
Manu

What is your Unix flavor ?
On my AIX box, ftp doesn't support the syntax 'mget < ...'

ftp doesn't support full shell syntax.
execute a remote shell command first, to list the files, then ftp them.

Aigles - mget is multiple get - a 'globbed' get, with the ftp -i option
Code:
echo "
open somenode 
username password
cd /directory
lcd /another_directory
bin
mget *.lis 
bye " | ftp -i -n > ftp.log

gets all files the end with .lis

I know the mget command, but not the syntax used by Manu.
Error or Unix flavour specific syntax ?

Error - ftp doesn't support redirection or subprocess creation on the mget command line.

Some versions of ftp support ! -- escape to shell
Code:
ftp

ftp> ! ls *.lis
addr.lis      big_prem.lis  rr.lis        sb.lis        t.lis         tou.lis       ubtibil.lis   uzpb.lis      y.lis
bad_cust.lis  cust.lis      rr195.lis     src.lis       t1.lis        tusc.lis      ucrasvh.lis   uzpsocl.lis   z.lis
badprem.lis   prem.lis      rr_wnd1.lis   srch.lis      t2.lis        ubr.lis       urrshis.lis   uzrebpp.lis   zma.lis
big_cust.lis  rperint.lis   s.lis         sum.lis       test1.lis     ubracex.lis   uzebpux.lis   wn2.lis
ftp>bye

Hi Pierre,

The flavour is HP-UX.

A possible solution (not tested) :
Code:
TEST()
{
   #
   # Get file list
   # 

   ftp -n -v -i <<-EOF
	open 192.168.1.139
	user maheshv choice#123
	lcd $HOME/[00000.SCORE]/
	ls . /tmp/file_list.dat 
	bye
	EOF
   
   #
   # Build ftp script
   #

   cat <<-EOF > /tmp/ftp.sh
	open 192.168.1.139
	user maheshv choice#123
	lcd $HOME/[00000.SCORE]/
	EOF     
   awk '/^req_detail/ && ! /tar/ { 
             print get $0 
          } /tmp/file_list.dat >> /tmp/ftp.sh   

    #
    # Get files
    #

    sh /tmp/ftp.sh
}

Jean-Pierre.
