"$1 -i$I -$2 -$3 -$4 -o$3/$J.out > /dev/null";
But it contained the elements that I wanted to test. Anyway, thanks, because the problem seems to have been the quotes. I thought I needed the quotes to force substitution of $1, $2, etc., but it seems I was wrong.
It's always something simple like that, isn't it?
Thanks,
Matt

i'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do here, but i'll take a stab
at what i think you want.
if you're trying to run a program (say, ls) on the various input files
(say, hello.in) and redirect output to a similarly named output file
(say, hello.out), instead of this:
for I in *.in
do
J=`basename $I .in`
"$1 > $J.out";
"$1";
done
don't you want to do this:
for I in *.in
do
J=`basename $I .in`
$1 $I > $J.out;
done
or am i not understanding the problem correctly?

Hey all, I'm trying to automate some grunt work, and for the life of me, I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Here's a simplified version of what I'm trying to do:
-----
#!/bin/bash
# testrun.sh -- run the simulations to be done in the current directory
#
# usage: testrun.sh <prog>
# where <prog> is the program to be run on all of the input files
for I in *.in
do
J=`basename $I .in`
"$1 > $J.out";
"$1";
done
-----
When I run it, I get:
$ testrun.sh hello
/home/holland/bin/testrun.sh: hello > 0001.out: command not found
hello, world
/home/holland/bin/testrun.sh: hello > 0002.out: command not found
hello, world
/home/holland/bin/testrun.sh: hello > 0003.out: command not found
hello, world
/home/holland/bin/testrun.sh: hello > 0004.out: command not found
hello, world
So it seems that something is wrong with my output redirection, but each of the commands that it complains about works fine if I paste it into the terminal directly (also using bash).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt
