Hi,

Do I understand you correct ?

Something like:

for i in *
do
if [ -d $i ]
then
echo $i "Directory"
else
echo $i "File"
fi
done

[kamal_15]

thank u for your response
that is true in this example
but
in other case
if i want to esc the next lines and continue
next i

is there any way to do that ?

thankx

Hi,
Could you please describe more in detail.
Which "lines" do you want to esc (skip ?) ?

[Andreas Voss]

Hi,

perhaps this is what you are looking for:

for i in *
if [ -d $i ]
then
echo $i "Directory"
fi
continue
echo $i
done

the code is not very useful but you might learn somthing by that.

I mean

if any one familer with visual basic
*********************************************
for x = 1 to 10
if (any condition) then
(do any thing)
next x ---> (this command return to x again without complete the next lines ).
end if

(any thing)
next
********************************************


i want to know what is this command in unix ?

Hi,

I can give you two examples that will do the same job as the example in basic. Example two is a "direct" translation but the syntax in example 1 should be prefered.


for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
do
if [ (any condition) ]
then
(do something)
else
(do something else)
fi
done

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
do
if [ (any condition) ]
then
(do something)
continue
fi
(do something else)
done


for x = 1 to 10
if (any condition) then
(do any thing)
next x ---> (this command return to x again without complete the next lines ).
end if

(any thing)
next
