I assuming that I am reading all files from /tmp/ directory
for File in /tmp/*
do
## Check, if it is a File
if [ -f $File ] ; then
## Yes, it is a file
## Get the basename and cut two characters
TWOBYTES=`basename $File | cut -b1,2`
if [ "$TWOBYTES" = "%!" ] ; then
echo "File Name Valid"
else
echo "File Name Not Valid"
fi
else
## This is a directory
## I do not know what you want to do here , put your code here.
fi
done
Hi,
anyone point me to the best bash script option for checking the
first 2
characters of all the files in a directory?
logic of the script is
for each file in directory
test if the first 2 chars are "%!"
print Filename valid
if not
print Filename not valid
Does magic do something like this ?
