hello all,
I browsed the forum (briefly) and I am having issues with a script I writing. I need to check a directory and see if there are files there, if so process all of them. The issues I am having is that when I create the array of files names using set -A filenames "$(ls -1 $OES_DATA_IN_DIR)"
when I try to iterate through this using a for loop or a while loop I keep getting all entries. Here are the test scripts. I have 2 files in the $OES_DATA_IN_DIR directory.
#! /usr/bin/ksh
Filename=OFFER_INVENTORY_.dat
if [ -f $OES_DATA_IN_DIR/$Filename ]
then
set -A filenames "$(ls -1 $OES_DATA_IN_DIR)"
typeset fname
typeset -R10 del
typeset -L6 delDate
let count=0
while (( $count < ${#filenames[]} )); do
fname="${filenames[count]}"
export fname
del=$fname
delDate=$del
echo $fname
echo $del
echo $delDate
let count="count + 1"
done
fi
Here is the output
oeosdev@grampian$ ksh array.sh
OFFER_INVENTORY_200506.dat OFFER_INVENTORY_200507.dat
200507.dat
200507
oeosdev@grampian$
Now for a for loop
#! /usr/bin/ksh
Filename=OFFER_INVENTORY_*.dat
if [ -f $OES_DATA_IN_DIR/$Filename ]
then
typeset fname
typeset -R10 del
typeset -L6 delDate
let count=0
for filenames in "$(ls -1 $OES_DATA_IN_DIR)"; do
fname="${filenames[count]}"
export fname
del=$fname
delDate=$del
echo $fname
echo $del
echo $delDate
done
fi
Here is the oputput.
oeosdev@grampian$ ksh array2.sh
OFFER_INVENTORY_200506.dat OFFER_INVENTORY_200507.dat
200507.dat
200507
What I need the oputput to be is
OFFER_INVENTORY_200506.dat
200506.dat
200507
OFFER_INVENTORY_200507.dat
200507.dat
200507
