i have written the following function:
function check-el-compile ()
{
for file in $*; do
elcfile=`basename $file .el`.elc
if [ ! -f "$elcfile" ]; then
missinglist="$missinglist $file"
fi
done
echo "Not compiled Files: $missinglist"
unset el elc missinglist
}
This function checks which of the passed *.el files are not compiled, i.e. the file
<basename>.elc
does not exist. Example: abc.el is compiled if abc.elc exists in the same directory.
Now the problem: if i pass the *.el files as argument to this function all is working
fine.
But if i write the functon like follows:
function check-el-compile ()
{
for file in `ls *.el`; do
# same as above.
then the basename call doesn´t work, i.e. it always returns $file.
It seems that the output of ls contains "something" which confuses basename?!
Any ideas what can be the problem?
many thanks in advance!
Klaus
