[TCLUG] scripting

[Troy.A Johnson]

Dan,

I like examples, so:

>>>>>START>>>>>
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "Enter a filename: "
read file0
file1=${file0}1
if [ -f $file0 ]; then
    if [ -r $file0 ]; then
        if [ ! -f $file1 ]; then
            mv $file0 $file1
        else
            echo "${file1} exists."
            exit 1
        fi
    else
        echo "${file0} is not readable."
        exit 1
    fi
else
    echo "${file0} does not exist."
    exit 1
fi
exit 0
>>>>>>END>>>>>>

That said, I like Perl and would use it instead.

Good luck,

Troy

Subject: [TCLUG] scripting
I am very new to scripting....i want to write a script that asks me to
enter a variable and the plugs that into a command
For example I run test.sh
And it asks me for a file name
I enter 'file' and it renames 'file' to 'file1'
How can I do this?
Anyone know of any good sites to get scripting tutorials?
