Hey People
I'm having a problem with a bash shell script that I'm hoping someone
here can help me with.
The script is supposed to convert ^M to ^J in all the files in a
directory. The script is invoked with 'scriptname *'. The thing that
I just can't nut out is how to increment the variable that represents
the filename.
Here's what I have..
,----[ Le Script ]
| #! /bin/bash
|
| LOOP_TIMES=$#
| LOOP=1
| FILE=$1
|
| while [ $LOOP -le $LOOP_TIMES ]; do
| cat $FILE | tr "\r" "\n" > $FILE
| somehow increment $FILE from $1 to $2, $3, $4 etc up to $#
| LOOP=$[ LOOP + 1 ]
| done
`----
I know the answer will be something really simple and easy, I just
can't think of it. :-(
