Hi All,
The following script checks whether the filename is correct then the script proceeds to check whether you have read,write and execute permisiions to the file and displays an approriate message.
#ss23
#usage ss23
echo "enter any filename \c"
read fname
if[!-z "$fname"] then
if [-r $fname -a -w $fname -a -x $fname]
then
echo you have read,wirte and execute permisions to $fname
else
echo read,write and execute permisions denied
fi
else
echo improper filename
fi
when i run this script and give the filename 'test' it is showing the following error.
| Quote: | s23:line 3: if[!-z test]: command not found
s23:line 4: if [-r test -a -w $fname -a -x test] : command not found
s23:line 5:syntax error near unexpected token 'then'
|
i have seen this program in a shell scripting book and tried it but it has shown the above said error. '-z ' returbs true if the lenght of the string is zero. what would be the equivalent command in Redhat linux. I am using Redhat llinux 9 version.
Please advice.
Thanks
Srini...
