Hi all:
I have a directory where all of the subdirectories are named by the convention "images_#1:#2_Date." My goal is to get an array for each subdirectory that has the structure (#1,#2, int). I am able to use awk to print each subdirectory's values, but cannot figure out how to get them into an array. My script can be seen below:
But this just outputs the entire list with a '[5]' at the end. I am at a loss for how to proceed. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Bash didn't seem to like passing the variables out of a loop but here's something with ksh.
#! /bin/ksh
# Get the listing and loop thru to add to the array.
cnt=0
ls -1 *Date |sed -e 's/_/ /g' -e 's/:/ /' | awk '{print $2,$3}'|sort | while read line
do
if [ ! -z "$line" ]
then
myarray[$cnt]="$line"
cnt=$(($cnt+1))
fi
done
# print out the array.
ncnt=0
while [ $ncnt -lt $cnt ]
do
echo "My Array: ${myarray[$ncnt]}"
ncnt=$(($ncnt+1))
done
This does not appear to be working. When I ran it as in the post above, I simply got no input. I inserted a second "if" loop to see if, in fact, the lines were being read. They are not. With the current version of the script, seen below, the output is:
>
No length
No length

This seems odd, because there are currently 39 directories, and the output of the first command, when run on its own, has 41 lines (the 39 directories plus lines for "./" and "../" Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Thanks again.
A bit of a change from the original intent, right now I am just trying to get an array of the first number in the directory, and I had the format slightly wrong. The directories are actually: images_#1_#2_Date/. I figure if I can get the first number working, getting the second into the array should be trivial.
Sorry, the indentation does not seem to be working.
If I'm reading this correctly, your directories would look something like this.
If this is true:
Try this:
#! /bin/ksh
# cd images
cnt=0
find ./ -name \*Date -type d | sed -e 's/_/ /g' -e 's/:/ /g'| awk '{print $2,$3}'| sort | while read line
do
if [[ ! -z "$line" ]]
then
myarray[$cnt]="$line"
cnt=$(($cnt+1))
fi
if [[ -z "$line" ]]
then
echo "No length"
fi
done
ncnt=0
while [ $ncnt -lt $cnt ]
do
echo "My Array: ${myarray[$ncnt]}"
ncnt=$(($ncnt+1))
done
if not, AND they all begin with images then substitute the
with
You really should have something to make sure you only get the directories you want and not the . and .. directories as well. They will show up as No Length.
/'|awk '{print $2,$3}'|sort
