Hi ,
I am checking whether the file is gz file or not. If it's gz file, i need to unzip it.
My code is as below,
when i tried to execute, i got the below response,
Eventhough the file is unzipped, i need to know why the file1 value is not getting printed? Pls solve my above query
Thanks
I realize you've already solved your problem, but I share this in hopes that it may be helpful anyway.
The problem with your original code is in:
The '&' terminates the echo command and causes it to run in the background. The shell then tries to execute the command named "file1". I assume what you were going for was "echo $file1", to echo the filename.
In this case, if you want to be verbose, instead of manually echoing filenames and the like, you can just use gunzip's -v option, which, in addition to the filename, provides information on compression efficiency.
Also, there is no need to bother with an external tool such as cut when you can use the case statement's inherent pattern matching.

Works fine on few lines of script, then it gives me this cryptic error when I try to comment out about 80 lines.
The "warning " is at last line of script.
