If there is a more appropriate place to ask about bash, please let me know.
I'm starting to learn how to use bash. For a start, I want to write a
script that copies some .html files from /floppy to a ~/public_html
directory, change to permissions, user, and groups appropriately and delete
the files in /floppy after this is done.
Part of my attempt:
cd /floppy
if [-e /floppy/*.html]; then
for filename in $*
fromdos < $filename > $HOME/public_html/$filename
chown anagle $HOME/public_html/$filename
chgrp users $HOME/public_html/$filename
chmod 644 $HOME/public_html/$filename
rm $filename
done
else
echo "No HTML files are located in $PWD./nNothing done."
fi
I get a "token" error on the line with 'fromdos'. I was thinking of perhaps
using 'ex' or something similar. Also, I don't know if I'm using the '$*'
correctly.
Thanks for the help.
Adrian
