UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi All,
Need your help..

I am writing one script in which I am assigning value to one variable but when i am executing it is showing error "0403-006 Execute permission denied"

below is the line of that script :

INPUT_COUNT=wc $GIF_DIR/input/VID_RIMS.DAT | awk '{print $1}'

and access permission for the used file in this command is :


-rw-r--r-- 1 vas vas 107226 Jul 06 03:33 VID_RIMS.DAT

Please help me ..

are u using back tick for execution?

Code:

INPUT_COUNT=`wc $GIF_DIR/input/VID_RIMS.DAT | awk '{print $1}'`

also, what is there in $GIF_DIR

do echo "$GIF_DIR" before the inpt_count calculation

The problem was 'space' between = and ` now it it is working file.

Thanks for your reply....
