Help for applying same actions to different directories with identical sub-directories
Hello all
I have a situation and would be grateful if you will help me... I am not sure whether it is even possible
I have few folders/directories ---e.g. A - B - C -in my MAIN directory
for each of them I would get the data from folder called DATA and go through a long list of actions which involves creating new sub-directories.
So e.g. will run a program for A -> creating 5 new sub-directories - doing some calculations and getting some results out
the same happens for B and C
I have tried to put an FOR loop around it which seems to work if I only have one of them there as the address for the directories will get confusing as my program refers to sub-directories in the A,B,C
Now my problem is how to adapt it so when I am on MAIN, I can run all of them at the same time and related directories would be created inside each of them separately ...
the Path seems something like this
I am not sure whether something like this is possible ... or they might be a very simple solution but my mind is not supporting now
Thank you in advance
Anna
I will try to explain with an example
I have one main folder with unknown number of folder in them, e.g. A,B,C, ...
but all of them have the same sub-folder structure in them
like each them have a folder called Basic which has the original data in it
I have the following code for sentence count ---
now instead of calling this from each A,B,C path I want to call this from the main folder to automatically do it for all of them
I dont know how I should address the PATHS to read all of the folders after main folder
Seems to work but when it comes to I don't know what to do to have one per folder
I know all of them because I created them
Basically I have to repeat same actions for few folders with same structure
So I want to put them all in one directory and put a loop around the code to run all of them together to easy my job
or at least thats what I wish for
I have searched this quite a long time but couldn't find the right method for me to use. I need to assign read write permission to the user for specific directories and it's sub directories and files. I do not want to use ACL. This is for Solaris. Please help. (1 Reply)
