I would like to convert this code from sh file to .bat file, how can i do?
# Validate directories
if [ ! -d "$DIRA" -o \
! -d "$DIRB" -o \
! -d "$DIRC" ]
then
echo " invalid path"
exit 1
fi
It can be written like this in .bat file:
rem validate directories
set VALID_PATH=true
IF NOT EXIST %DIRA%\NUL set VALID_PATH=false
IF NOT EXIST %DIRB%\NUL set VALID_PATH=false
IF NOT EXIST %DIRC%\NUL set VALID_PATH=false
if %VALID_PATH%==false (
echo invalid path
goto done
)

I'm a new bee to shell and would ask for your kindly help.
I created a small script to remove the extra " which is extra when copying Windows file into Linux.
But my script has below issue:
1st error is PARAM is not recognized. (I copied from others)
PARAM=-linux -brnce -cdw: Command not found.
Illegal variable name.
2nd. When I try to ignore PARAM, there is new error
if: Expression Syntax.
The script is as below:
'''
#file name: removeQuote.sh
#!/bin/bash
PARAM="-linux -brnce -cdw"
indent $PARAM "$#"
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
exit 1
fi
if [ $# -ge 3 ] #check if there is output file
then
file_path = $3
else
file_path = $1
fi
vim -e -s -c "%s/\"//g" -c "wq" $file_path
echo "ok, all extra \" removed"
'''
I have a script that checks if there is only one file in a directory. However, I can't figure out how to check if there is only one executable (no file extension) or script (.sh) in that directory. Here's what I currently have:
loc=(/Applications/*)
APPROOTDIR="${loc[RANDOM % ${#loc[#]}]}/"
APPDIR="${APPROOTDIR}Contents/MacOS/"
echo "APPROOTDIR is ${APPROOTDIR}"
echo "APPDIR is ${APPDIR}"
FIAD=$(ls ${APPDIR})
if [ `ls -1 ${APPDIR}* 2>/dev/null | wc -l ` == 1 ]; then
echo "One executable or script: ${FIAD}"
else
echo "Not one executable or script: ${FIAD}"
fi
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Don't parse ls, populate another array with the directory entries and work on it instead.
shopt -s nullglob
# set up loc, APPDIR, etc. here
ent=("$APPDIR"*)
if [[ ${#ent[#]} -eq 1 && ( $ent = *.sh || -x $ent ) ]]; then
echo 'One executable or script: '
else
echo 'Not one executable or script: '
fi
printf '%q\n' "${ent[#]#"$APPDIR"}"
Note that variables with all uppercase names are reserved for shells, it's recommended to use lower or mixed-case variable names.
Good day,
I need your help in creating next script
Every day teacher uploading files in next format:
STUDENT_ACCOUNTS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx
STUDENT_MARKS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx
STUNDENT_HOMEWORKS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx
STUDENT_PHYSICAL_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx
SUBSCRIBED_STUDENTS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx
[file_name+todaydatetime-todaydate.xlsx]
But sometimes a teacher is not uploading these files and we need to do manual renaming the files received for the previous date and then copying every separate file to separate folder like:
cp STUDENT_ACCOUNTS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx /incoming/A1/STUDENT_ACCOUNTS_20200318074343-20200318.xlsx
cp STUDENT_MARKS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx /incoming/B1/STUDENT_ACCOUNTS_20200318074343-20200318.xlsx
.............
cp SUBSCRIBED_STUDENTS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx /incoming/F1/SUBSCRIBED_STUDENTS_20200318074343-20200318.xlsx.
In two words - taking the files from previous date copying them to specific folder with a new timestamp.
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/incoming/
date=$(date '+%Y%m%d')
previousdate="$( date --date=yesterday '+%Y%m%d' )"
cp /home/incoming/SUBSCRIBED_STUDENTS_'$previousdate'.xlsx /incoming/F1/SUBSCRIBED_STUDENTS_'$date'.xlsx
and there could be case when teacher can upload one file and others not, how to do check for existing files?
Thanks for reading that, if you can help me i will ne really thankful - you will save plenty of manual work for me.
The process can be automated completely if your directory structure is known. If it follows some kind of pattern, do mention it here.
For the timing, this maybe helpful:
Filename "tscp"
#
# Stands for timestamped cp
#
tscp() {
local file1=$1 ; shift
local to_dir=$1 ; shift
local force_copy=$1 ; shift
local current_date="$(date '+%Y%m%d')"
if [ "${force_copy}" == "--force" ] ; then
cp "${file1}" "${to_dir}/$(basename ${file1%-*})-${current_date}.xlsx"
else
cp -n "${file1}" "${to_dir}/$( basename ${file1%-*})-${current_date}.xlsx"
fi
}
tscp "$#"
It's usage is as follows:
tscp source to_directory [-—force]
Basically the script takes 2 arguments and the 3rd one is optional.
First arg is source file path and second are is the directory path to where you want to copy (. if same directory).
By default this copy would be made if and only if destination file doesn't exist.
If you want to overwrite the destination file then pass a third arg —force.
Again, this can be refined much much more based on details provided.
Sample usage for now:
bash tscp SUBSCRIBED_STUDENTS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx /incoming/F1/
will copy SUBSCRIBED_STUDENTS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx to directory /incoming/F1/ with updated date if it doesn't exist yet.
UPDATE:
Give this a go:
#! /usr/bin/env bash
printf_err() {
ERR_COLOR='\033[0;31m'
NORMAL_COLOR='\033[0m'
printf "${ERR_COLOR}$1${NORMAL_COLOR}" ; shift

Steps:
Store the above script in a file, say `tscp`.
Now you need to create the input file for it.
From you example, a sample input file can be like:
STUDENT_ACCOUNTS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx /incoming/A1/
STUDENT_MARKS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx /incoming/B1/
STUNDENT_HOMEWORKS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx
STUDENT_PHYSICAL_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx
SUBSCRIBED_STUDENTS_20200217074343-20200217.xlsx /incoming/FI/
Where first part is the source file name and after a "tab" (it should be a tab for sure), you mention the destination directory. These paths should be either absolute or relative the the directory where you are executing the script. You may not mention destination directory if all are to be sent to same directory (discussed later).
Let's say you named this file `file`.
Also, you don't really have to type all that. If you have these files in the current directory, just do this:
ls -1 > file
(the above is ls "one", not "l".)
Now we have the `file` from above in which we didn't mention destination directory for all but only for some.
Let's say we want to move all other directories to `/incoming/x` and it exists.
Now script is to be executed like:
bash tscp -f file -t /incoming/x -r
Where `/incoming/x` is the default directory i.e. when none other directory is mentioned in `file`, your files are moved to this directory.
Now in the current directory a script named `copyscript` will be generated which will contain `cp` commands to copy all files. You can open a review `copyscript` and if the copying seems right, go ahead and:
bash copyscript
which will copy all the files and then you can:
rm copyscript
You need not generate to `copyscript` and can straight away go for a copy like:
bash tscp -f file -t /incoming/x
which won't generate any copyscript and copy straight away.
Previously `-r` caused the generation of `copyscript`.
I would recomment to use version with `-r` because that is a little safer and you will be sure that right copies are being made.
By default it would check for the previous day and rename to current date, but you can override that behaviour as:
bash tscp -f file -t /incoming/x -d 3
`-d 3` would look for 3 days back files in `file`.
By default copies won't overwrite i.e. if file at the destination already exists, copies won't be made.
If you want to overwrite, add flag `-o`.
As a conclusion I would advice to use:
bash tscp -f file -r
where file contains tab separated values like above for all.
Also, adding tscp to path would be a good idea after you are sure it works ok.
Also the scipt is made on mac and there is always a change of version clash of tools used. I would suggest to try the script on some sample data first to make sure script works right on your machine.
I am trying to execute a hallo_word.sh that is stored at ~/bin from this script that is stored at my ~/Desktop. I have made both scripts executable. But all the time I get the problem message. Any ideas?
#!/bin/sh
clear
dir="$PATH"
read -p "which file you want to execute" fl
echo ""
for fl in $dir
do
if [ -x "$fl" ]
then
echo "executing=====>"
./$fl
else
echo "Problem"
fi
done
This line has two problems:
for fl in $dir
$PATH is colon separated, but for expects whitespace separated values. You can change that by setting the IFS variable. This changes the FIELD SEPARATOR used by tools like for and awk.
$fl contains the name of the file you want to execute, but you overwrite its value with the contents of $dir.
Fixed:
#!/bin/sh
clear
read -p "which file you want to execute" file
echo
IFS=:
for dir in $PATH ; do
if [ -x "$dir/$file" ]
then
echo "executing $dir/$file"
exec "$dir/$file"
fi
done
echo "Problem"
You could also be lazy and let a subshell handle it.
PATH=(whatever) bash command -v my_command
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
# Problem, could not be found.
else
# No problem
fi
There is no need to over-complicate things.
command(1) is a builtin command that allows you to check if a command exists.
The PATH value contains all the directories in which executable files can be run without explicit qualification. So you can just call the command directly.
#!/bin/sh
clear
# r for raw input, e to use readline, add a space for clarity
read -rep "Which file you want to execute? " fl || exit 1
echo ""
"$fl" || { echo "Problem" ; exit 1 ; }
I quote the name as it could have spaces.
To test if the command exists before execution use type -p
#!/bin/sh
clear
# r for raw input, e to use readline, add a space for clarity
read -rep "Which file you want to execute? " fl || exit 1
echo ""
type -p "$fq" >/dev/null || exit 1
"$fl" || { echo "Problem" ; exit 1 ; }
I need to check if a parameter passed to a bash script is a folder or a file. It may or may not end with /
xpath=$(dirname "$1")
strips out the dirname if there was no trailing /
Thanks
Given the file a and dir t.
You can use the command file:
$ file t
t: directory
$ file a
a: ASCII text
Or also the -f (file) and -d (dir) flags.
$ [ -f a ] && echo "this is a file"
this is a file
$ [ -f t ] && echo "this is a file"
$
$ [ -d t ] && echo "this is a dir"
this is a dir
$ [ -d a ] && echo "this is a dir"
$
use "test -f" or "test -d" with the path. Though "dirname" always returns name of directory, never a filename, however it may return a directory in which file resides, or a directory in which directory resides, depending if argument is file or directory. "basename" returns filename or directory without preceeding path it resides in.
