Examples:
Code:
$ ./test.sh -a -c 2
operator is -gt
remcount is
^ value missing!
Code:
$ ./test.sh -b -c 2
operator is -lt
remcount is
^ value missing!
Yet when "-c" is the first argument, its value is present:
Code:
$ ./test.sh -c 2 -b
operator is -lt
remcount is 2
What could I do to ensure the value of "-c" is picked up regardless of the argument order?
I am trying to create a shell script similar to ls, but which only lists directories. I have the first half working (no argument version), but trying to make it accept an argument, I am failing. My logic is sound I think, but I'm missing something on the syntax.
Code:
if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
d=`pwd`
for i in * ; do
if test -d $d/$i ; then
echo "$i:"
code....
Feel free to just link to another thread where this is (pre)solved; I can't search the forum for the word "for," because it's too short (or maybe the search engine dislikes prepositions).
Is there a way to give the 'for' command a range? Here's what I mean:
Code:
#for i in (1-5); do echo $i; done

True, I realize I could use
Code:
COUNT=1 ; while [ $COUNT -lt 6 ]...
...but if I can avoid the extra preparatory step I'd prefer to do so.
I made a little rsync script for log transfer.
Code:
SERVERS=(SERVER1 SERVER2 SERVER3)
SERVER1_SERV=(web ftp mail)
SERVER2_SERV=(web transcoding)
SERVER3_SERV=(web ftp mail)
for SERVER in ${SERVERS[@]}
do
echo "Starting tranfer for server $SERVER"
for SERVICE in ${$SERVER_$SERVICE[@]}
do
something_to_be_done
fi
done
But when I run it I get ${$SERVER_$SERVICE[@]}: bad substitution

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to compare the following two tab-delimited .txt files (both were subsets of the original files) by comparing Columns 3 and 4 simultaneously. It is easy to compare C3 because both C3s are just numbers. But how to compare C4s?Basically, in File1, "G,G" = G in File2, "C,C" = C in File2, "A,A" = A in File2, "T,T"= T in File2.In File2, A/T in Column4 just equals "A,T" or "T,A" in Column4 of File1. C/T in Column4 just equals "C,T" or "T,C" in Column4 of File1, and etc.
File1:
C1C2 C3C4

so I wrote a simple script to scrape whatsmyip.org for my public IP address and then email it to me if it has changed. I set this up as a cron job ever 30mins.the problem is, it works for about 18 hours and then will have an issue where it says "line 33: [: too many arguments" Which line 33 happens to be my if statement. Now like I said it works fine for about 18 hours, i run the script with 2>&1 to a .out file so i can see what its doing...this is the output of the .out file, the "xxx" does actually show the ip.."PHP Code:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
already in file
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Trying to create a small script that will read user's input, test if user entered some input and if not display some message or display a text using user's input.
The script is the following but i get an error saying "[: 6: =: argument expected"
I am trying to modify a script for research purposes and am having difficulty here as I have little prior experience with C-shell scripting.
The script looks as follows (it includes tcl commands like runFEP that you can ignore)
#!/bin/bash
for ((old=1, new=2; old<=4; old++,new++))
a1=${old}%50
a2=${new}%50
do
cat > input${new}.conf <<EOF
${a1}

My question: I keep getting a syntax error when defining my two variables a1 and a2. I essentially need these variables to be
a1 = value of variable old divided by 50
a2 = value of variable new divided by 50
I'm writing a script and I have doubts on how to assign values to an already established variable. The value for the vatriable would be coming from a file with three columns.

#!/bin/nsh
inputfile=$1
rolename=$2

The two shell scripts (t1prog and t2prog) are given below they are working fine. The input for the first program is 't1.det' and for second program is 't1.rnaml'. These two input files are in 'dir1' folder. I am executing the shell like 'sh t1prog > t1out' and 'sh t2prog > t2out' from this directory only. Then I am executing a java program 'java RNA'; for this, t1out and t2out are input files used in the program and I am getting the final output on screen.
The input files 't1.det' and 't1.rnaml' are in different folders with same name and with different values. Each folder specifies one gene sequence input files.
In mfold directory there are 5 directors and each directory contains these input files as shown below
cd mfold
dir1 dir2 dir3 dir4 dir5
cd dir1
t1.det t1.rnaml
[Code].....
for inputs in different directories and executing these and redirecting the final ouput after executing 'java RNA' statement to a file is needed.
