Reading into directory, unix shell script
I am trying to analyze the files/directories inside of a directory using a shell script, for example if the file is readable, if it is a file, if it is a directory, etc. My script is set up to take a directory as input. so I would type 'file.sh directoryname'. However, when I create a for loop to analyze the files, it analyzes the files in my current working directory rather than the specified directory name.
This is my broken code:
file=$1
set mypath = $file
for file in $mypa开发者_开发百科th *
do
if [ -d $file ]
dirCount=`expr $dirCount + 1`
fi
done
Why does this read the working directory instead of the specified directory? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I think you have an error here:
set mypath = $file
Just do
mypath = $file
and that should work out just fine.
# check this one
file=$1
mypath=$file
dirCount=0
#ls $file
for file in `ls $mypath`
do
file=./$mypath/$file
#a=`ls -l $file`
echo $a
if [ -d $file ]
then
dirCount=`expr $dirCount + 1` #increment count
echo $dirCount
fi
done
#if count value is grater than 1 then only print value
if [ $dirCount -ne 0 ]
then
echo -e "\ncount is $dirCount $$"
fi
you can try this. but the script will go into issue when the folder name have blank space.
#/bin/bash
path=$1
for file in $path/*
do
if [ -d $file ];then
dirCount=`expr $dirCount + 1`
fi
done
echo $dirCount
