Well, I'm sure it is very interesting but I am really trying to get
away from DOS.
At any rate, I did some more work on my utility and it is now working
great. You can try it out and let me know what you think of it.
I will first list the source here for the bash script (gscript). This
must be launched with
. gscript
----------------------------------------------------------
# start of gscript
#!/bin/sh
# You must execute this script using the following syntax: . gscript
PATHBACK=$PATH
PATH=$(pwd):$PATH
RESULT=1
while [ -n "$RESULT" ]
do
r=$(pwd)
dialog --ok-label Change --cancel-label Close --no-shadow --
backtitle guicd --title $(pwd) --menu "Choose a folder." 20 45 14 $(/
ramdisk/home/knoppix/Desktop/guicd) 2> /ramdisk/home/knoppix/Desktop/
guicd.tmp
RESULT=$(cat /ramdisk/home/knoppix/Desktop/guicd.tmp)
cd $(/ramdisk/home/knoppix/Desktop/newfolders /ramdisk/home/
knoppix/Desktop/guicd.tmp) > /dev/null
done
PATH=$PATHBACK
cd $r
# end of gscript
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note the hard-coded knoppix-related paths. You have to change these
according to your setup. All 3 files must be located in same
directory. And you must change to this folder before you run
gscript. When I switch to a full linux version I will have more
control over the startup files and whatnot, so this will eventually
change.
Now here are the 2 C programs, guicd.c and newfolders.c
Compile to executables with gcc
gcc -o guicd guicd.c
gcc -o newfolders newfolders.c
