Well, I was going to say that, but thought everyone might be
tired of hearing it by now.

UNIX as well :)
Am I right, Jared?

The best thing to do is document the logic in the script,
throw it away, and rewrite it in the shell of your choice.
Unless of course you can find some automated utility
to convert batch files to shell.

Subject: converting NT batch files to Unix shell
Hi DBAs,
OS: Solaris 2.8
DB: 8i
Is there any tricks/techniques ( or documentation) to
convert NT batch file to Unix shell script.
( seems to be the question silly.)
But I really need it for our new project.
This is to migrate the data (flatfiles) to oracle from
AS400.
We have received some batch files written in NT (along
with the data (flat) files, and if we can convert the
batch files to unix shell script the process would
become easy for migration.
Thanks in advance,
Srinivas

Re: converting NT batch files to Unix shell
hi sree! since the shells (whether korn, bash or any other) are very powerful and cmd.exe is a rather poor thing, i would suggest the following: either: find someone who is capable of shell programming and has been on NT or can read the screen after typing HELP in cmd.exe he will have no problem with it or: make a step by step discription of what the script is supposed to do and give it to the shell programmer. daniel -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Daniel Wisser INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Welcome aboard. Srinivas, The answer unfortunately is 'no', but knowing a little bit about the 'inadequacies' of M$ BAT programming, converting them to UNIX Korn scripts should be a cinch. Btw, I will be presenting on UNIX for beginner DBAs this IOUG Live (April27-May1) and will cover the basics required for such a task. The paper will be made available afterwards, fwiw...

Re: converting NT batch files to Unix shell
This may not be what one wants to hear when given this task (at one time I wouldn't), in the absence of any super tools, being that Unix commands are so powerful and feature rich compared to NT, I would take each NT script, determine its purpose and write the Unix script from scratch with that goal in mind. You'll likely find you can do the same task better, easier, quicker, and very likely can enhance it if you wish. Windows NT Shell Scripting by Timothy Hill, Linda Engelman, published by Pearson is a good book to help a Unix programmer see what the NT script was doing. (I'm a 'reformed' MCSE, so I'm not speaking from the standpoint of a Unix bigot, I just know a better world when I see it.) I've written batch jobs to run in both environments, so if you take this approach and run into trouble, definitely post again and I'll help where I can.
