need urgent help with bash script

ferradura · 09-11-2007, 10:25 AM

i have a program that has the following syntaxe

Code:

./normfet inputfile outputprefix -nml -ftr

I need a script that calls that program over and over till all the files on my current dir are processed. The outputprefix should be the inputfile name.

Any help will be welcome.
Thanks

Do you know any scripting (as in you post what you already got and then receive help) or don't you? (in which case you should *ask* for somebody to make a script for you like "find /some/dir -type f | while read f; do executeSomething "${f}" "${f/%.*}" --args --args; done").

I didn`t mean to be rude, and believe i wasn`t. I don`t know any scripting, and i posted to ask for help, meaning that i am looking for someone that is kind and has some spare time to make the script i need. Thanks unSpawn.
