I'm trying to get a BASH shell script written so that I selectively
batch copy files from my DOS partition to Linux. Here's the shell
script:
mdir | sed "/^ /d" | sed "/^$/d" | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | sed "/^\./d" >
tmp$$
joe tmp$$
sed "/^\(............\)\(.*\)$/s//\1/" < tmp$$ | sed "s/ /./" | sed "s/
//g" > tmpa$$ <----- (end of previous line)
mv tmpa$$ tmp$$
for file in `cat tmp$$`
do
mread '$file' $file
done
rm tmp$$ tmp$$~
exit
However, the "mread '$file' $file" command results in a <"$FILE" not
found message> by mtools. I've tried escaping the ' symbol (\') in the
shell
script but this doesn't work either. Any suggestions?
