I have a folder named "myfolder"
Inside "myfolder", I have several files named "ft1, ft2, ft3, ft4".
I need to create symbolic links to all of those files into my current working
directory.
I tried creating a shell script:
#!/bin/sh
for i in /myfolder/ft* ; do ln -s ${i} ./; done
But what it did was to create a symbolic link "ft*" pointing to /myfolder/ft*...
#ls
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2007-01-03 15:55 ft* -> /myfolder/ft*
When all I wanted was to have:
#ls
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2007-01-03 15:58 ft1 -> myfolder/ft1
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2007-01-03 15:58 ft2 -> myfolder/ft2
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2007-01-03 15:58 ft3 -> myfolder/ft3
Do you know a quick perl script to accomplish this thing.
I shouldn't be needing this script but xargs in this OS(debian) doesn't have
the "-J" flags like in BSD..
so far all I got is this: :-)
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
Thank you very much for any help or pointers..
