Hi,
I would like to automate the following task under Linux. I need to create a set
of directories such as
075
095
100
125
The directory names may be read from a text file foobar, which also contains a
number corresponding to each dir, like this:
075 1.818
095 2.181
100 2.579
125 3.019
In each directory I must copy a text file input.in. This file contains two
lines which need to be edited:
.
.
.
foo = 1.5 !edit me..
.
.
.
bar = 1.5 !..and me, too
.
.
The number after the "=" must be set to the value given in foobar for the
corresponding directory
I thought to write a bash/awk shell script for this. However, if and when the
script works, I'll probably start to add more features in order to automate
even more tasks. It seems to me that Python or perl would be better suited to
write a larger, mantainable script. Unfortunately, I know neither of them.
Could you show me how to write the script in Python? Thanks,
If you don't know Python, could I suggest that you start by reading a
tutorial such as "Dive Into Python", which is at
