As many have replied to you there are many things you have to learn. But you have made a good beginning.
Keep going. Some general observations: 1) Your shell scripting style is not typical. Learn from others and improve. 2) Even the file command is not always accurate. 3) Learn to look at return values of commands in the $? variable 4) You can escape spaces and other metacharacters in many ways. I normally do a single pass rename of all files using mmv or even mv. Example. $ mmv -v "* *" '#1_#2' Read mmv man page. -Girish On Sun, Mar 25, 2012 at 10:02 PM, Bharath Kumar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi ILUGC members, > > I have written a shell script to find out what type of file is the file I am > searching for.
