I need a script for following problem !

I need to find all files with .afi extention.
After that i must cut the extention .afi und run a command with the files without extention.

Script:

!/bin/sh
set -x
for f in *.afi
do
afena $f ~/tmp

!/bin/sh
set -x
for f in `ls *.afi | sed 's/\.afi$//'`
do
afena $f ~/tmp
done

the sed will strip trailing ".afi" from each file. This will also work for files with multiple "." eg file.1.afi etc

Hi Rene,

for i in `ls *.afi|awk -F. '{print $1}'`
do
afena $i
done

This should work

Hi,

Just for your information, because previous posts works, it's sometimes useful to know about shell's capabilities. For example :

phelix> A=foo.abcd
phelix> echo $(basename $A .abcd)
foo
phelix> echo ${foo%%.abcd}
foo

On the console the commands works !

Command: for f in 'ls *.afi | sed 's/\.afi$//''

But in the Script it didnÂ´t work ?

Message:
+ afena ls t1.afi t2.afi | sed s/.afi$//

?????????????

Hi,

why don't you just use the "awk" solution?
Even works in the script

You have changed the quoting on the "not working version".

It should read: -

for f in `ls *.afi | sed 's/\.afi$//'`

however you are now using: -

for f in 'ls *.afi | sed 's/\.afi$//''

Not the difference in quotes. The very first and last quotes should be backquote ` (top-left of your keyboard).

The awk solution suggested above will also work, however it will not take into account filenames with more than one "." in.

Change the script to :

#!/bin/sh

set -x

for f in $(ls -C1 *.afi | sed "s/\.afi$//")
do
echo $f
done

You can do it easily with find command as,

-- test.ksh --
afena $1 ~/tmp
--------------

find -name "*.afi" -exec ksh test.ksh {} \;

Is afena a shell script function ?

You can also do as,

for FILE in $(ls *.afi|perl -pe 's/.afi$//)
do
echo $FILE
done

Hi,
See if this works:

# find ./ -name *.afi | cut -d "." -f 1 | xargs
