linux cp cannot create regular file,Error cp: cannot create regular file “”: no such file or directo...

问题

I am trying to move files that have been searched for from a source folder into a target folder and make them read only in the process, below is my current code, copyfile() is a subroutine that iterates the process for all files in the source folder.

#!/bin/bash

copyfile()

{

ls -l "$f"

read -p "Copy y/n? " yn

if [ "$yn" == "y" ]

then

cp "$f" "$2"

else

echo $f skipped

fi

}

if [ -d $1 ] # $1 source folder

then

echo

else

echo This directory does not exist

fi

if [ -d $2 ] # $2 target folder

then

echo Directory Exists

else

mkdir $2

echo $2 created

fi

for f in $1/*

do

echo "file is $f"

copyfile "$f"

done

I currently have not managed to get the permission change to work for the copied files (when they have done so with different versions of the code).

Any help is much appreciated in advance.

回答1:

Have your function like this:

copyfile() {

ls -l "$1"

read -p "Copy y/n? " yn

if [ "$yn" == "y" ]

then

cp "$1" "$2"

chmod 644 "$2"

else

echo "$1 skipped"

fi

}

and call it like this:

for f in $1/*

do

echo "file is $f"

copyfile "$f" "$2"

done
