Hallo I wrote my first Bash script! However I am struggling to find a way to test if 2 paths are the same: 1. I use a for loop to run through a set of folders in a path (lets say /home/myFiles/) 2. Now Test if the File Extension is = "mpg" 2.1. If true then I would like to know if the path of the previous mpg file is the same as this mpg file 2.1.1. If != then I would like to create a few dirs in this new path
So script looks like: for file in 4StartPath do fileExt = (get the file extention from 4file) if [ $fileExt = 'mpg' ] then newPath = (get File Path form $file) if [ $newPath != $oldPath ] then mkdir $newPath\Sound mkdir $newPath\Sound\MP3 mkdir $newPath\Sound\wav fi ffmpeg ding dong grab the MP3 and the Wav mv mp3 and wav file to directories created .... Obviously this is not the Exact script but i am struggling to do the "if [ $newPath != $oldPath ]" bit as I am new to bash scripts a code snippet would be nice and as I would like to know what the code does could you explaine it to me as well :-) Pretty please -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
