Tools Issue with variable assignation
Hi All,
My files(.csv) are created in download path.
All the files files are having footer with count of rows or may be blank.
When i am trying to put this below code in shell script and run it, the row_num is not getting assigned,
but works correctly on command prompt.
I am trying to put this count into a control file.

Please help me out as to what is worng.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Code:
for i in `find "$download" -name "pos_*.csv"  -exec basename {} \;` ; do

v_ctl_filename=${i%%.*}.ctl
typeset -i row_num=0 
row_num=`tail -1 "$i" |tr -cd '[:digit:]'`
echo $row_num > $SOURCEPATH/$v_ctl_filename

scp command

done

Since you are stripping the path from the filename by using the basename command, tail will not be able to find the file if it is in a sub directory. Also note that this will not work with filenames with spaces in them. Are $download and $SOURCEPATH set in the script itself?
