Hi
I did a lot of shell scripts to automate but forgot.
Could someone help me to refresh? Say,
I have a set of files, say 80 of them.
I need to take them, one at a time, and run another program (*.exe) -
possibly different file name.
Could someone please give me a sample code, to get me started?
Thanks

I find it difficult to believe that someone who has done lots of shell
scripts could "forget" such a simple thing. It's like saying that
you've baked lots of cakes, but you've forgotten how to mix batter.
You're obviously asking us to do your homework for you, but you're too
embarassed to say so.
But you haven't even given us a good description of what your script
needs to do. You say "possibly different file name" -- where does this
different file name come from?
And Unix programs don't usually end in .exe, that's Windows.

I have a file called "list1" - its got about 80 rows - each row is
alpha numeric name w/ ".txt" extension - each name refers to a file in
the dir.
The script reads the list - for each name in the list, it will perform
an operation and writes to same name with a different extension, say
".mp3".
Thanks

If you're concerned abpout name clashes with existing ".mp3" files, test for
them and come up with a different name or move them or....
I figure even if it's homework, he still has to explain it.

It is tcsh - t shell
The IFS is not recognized - how should I change it?

Change your shell for writing scripts. See
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot/ and/or google "c shell why not".

This advice is about the same as:
Q: My husband isn't a good bowler. His average is only 167.
What should I do?
A: Get a divorce and find a better guy to marry.
Something about forrests and trees...

No, it's more like
A: Maybe if he stopped using the square bowling ball...
Nobody's saying that you must immediately go out and replace all the
csh scripts you currently have. But there's no reason to write *more*
csh scripts, and if you have a csh script that's going through a major
rewrite, or a rewrite where csh's limitations are giving you grief,
you can port that one over. That's generally faster than trying to
code around csh's problems.
