I'm currently trying to write a shell script at work that would loop and allow me to enter the date, and the ad number of a PDF file, that would then copy that ad into a designated file and I can't get it to run correctly
heres the code:
#! /bin/bash
year=`date +%Y`
month=`date +%m`
monthname=`date +%B`
day=`date +%d`
hotfolder=`expr $day + 2`
open "/Volumes/ _Issues/$year/$month $monthname/$hotfolder/"
echo "Enter the DATE of the PDF you wish to Copy";
while read inputline
do
copydate="$inputline"
echo "you entered $copydate";
if [ "$copydate" -ge 1 ]
then
echo "You entered $copydate"
fi
while read inputline2
do copynum=$inputline2;
done
right now I need to drag and drop multiple files from a few folders, into one folder, I would like to be able to have it go along the lines of...
Enter date for the ad:
22
Enter number for the ad:
107548
then i would like it to copy ad number 107548*pdf from the 22nd folder, into the hotfolder.
thanks in advance,
-Wm.
