Hi ILUGC members, Thanks for your valuable suggestion. I have modified the code in such a way that if I search for an open office file that has 'spaces' in the name, it will output the kind of file.
Essence of the code : I will create a file in the name that was converted from space format to underscore format. I will open the document file and save it in the format as per the extension. This is only for open document file. Code Snippet #!/bin/bash echo -e "Input the file that you want to search: c" read input find ~ -name ${input} echo -e "Input the file that you want: c" read input1 export input1=`echo $input1 | tr ' ' _ ` touch ${input1} ooffice ${input1} file ${input1} I would like to know how to write 'if' condition for image, audio, video files etc. Thanks and Regards, Bharathkumar A.V.

If the resultant file name doesnt have any gap (like /path/name/Bharath_file.txt) I get the result correctly. But if the file has a gap (like /path/name/Bharath Kumar Letter.pdf) I get simply "ERROR". Is there any bug ?? Please help me resolve the bug please ?? > > This is my code snippet : > > #!/bin/bash > echo -e "Input the file that you want to search: c" > read input > find ~ -name ${input} > echo -e "Input the file that you want: c" // Comments : I will copy the file with the full name that I want > //to find out what type of file it is > read input1 > file ${input1}| cut -d: -f 2 > > > Thanks, > Bharathkumar A.V. > FollowRediff Deal ho jaye!to get exciting offers in your city everyday. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
