Can't find the bug in my code - bombing with rename
Hi Folks -
I'm encountering an issue:
Scenario:
We have automated GL data loads utilizing FDMEE. The problem is that some of our Locations could have multiple files. I think we are running into a situation where the script is trying to name the 2 files the same name and it is bombing out.
Question:
Have you ever had to deal with this? Do you have any ideas as to how I could modify the script to accommodate renaming multiple files?
The example file names that we are loading are below.
I see a few suspect things in here. Particularly [code]if [[ -f *.* ]][/icode], which will bomb out when there's more than one file, -f only accepts a single name.
Also, *.* is a DOS-ism, all that's needed in UNIX is *
A better way to do it, I think, would be:
Code:
set -- *
if [ ! -z "$1" ]
then
cat * > $FDM_Inbox/$Location_Name/"A~$LoadRule_Name~$MMM-$Output_Year~RR.txt"
fi
Thank you Corona688, I will give this a shot!
What is the purpose of Set -- * in this instance though?
What is the purpose of Set -- * in this instance though?
set is a shell built in. It can be used to define environmental variables however in this instance it is being used to evaluate positional parameters based upon what * expands to. For example, if * expands to: file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 , then set will resolve file1 as positional parameter 1 (i.e. $1=file1), file2 as positional parameter 2 (i.e. $2=file2) etc...
The -- is used to denote the end of the options. Meaning that set will consider everything after -- as parameters, not options (as set can take numerous options such as -x). This is particularly useful if any of the parameters start with a -

Hello,
This porblem bugged me for some time. It is to merge different files of hundred rows to have a union with the ID as key column (kind of similar to join!) and absence with 0.
ID File1
A 1

D 4
M 6
ID File2
A 5
B 10
C 15
Z 26
ID File3

the following command might do it as some shells spit it without the "exec bash -c " part:
Find . -name "*.model" -exec bash -c "mv {} \`echo {} | sed -e 's//_/g'\`"... (0 Replies)
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to find a particular file and then give it as an input to a program and then dump it into another file.
Something like this:
find ./ -name '*.txt' -exec ~/processText {} > mod.<current_file> \;
I've been trying all sorts of weird things but not... (2 Replies)
This single line of code in a sh script file
top -b -n 1 -U $USER
causes the script to prematurely exit with an exit code of 1 (i.e. an error) if the script is run with the -e option (e.g. if
set -e
is executed near the top of the script file).
Alternatively, you can execute it like
