Shell Programming and Scripting

By "do whatever...." I mean put in your code to add to or update in CVS. Remember with CVS to use -kb flag for binary files when you add.

Hi Porter,

Here my problem not with CVS.

first of all i ahve to findout the binary and test files, for that you given below script, after running i am getting error "scrip.sh: syntax error at line 5: `do' unexpected"

find dir -type f | while read N
do
case "$N" in
*.txt | *.html )
do whatever with text file "$N"
;;
*.gif | *.jpg | *.jpeg )
do whatever with binary file "$N"
;;
* )
;;
esac
done


one more doubt is "while read N" means what? here N referring to what?

N is a variable to hold the name of the file.

Put the following as the first line of the script...

Code:

#!/bin/sh

I added #!/bin/sh, still i am getting below error :
scrip.sh: syntax error at line 7: `do' unexpected

I am executing the script from /home/coradmin

here
find dir -type f | while read N

dir: is the specific location where you need to place the directory

N: is the variable in which u need to place the type of file (.jpg;.txt etc)

replace the "do" within the case statement with "echo"

Finally i got whatever i am looking ...thankq so much porter
