Another script

Bigun · 11-05-2003, 08:18 PM

This script I am building I would like to work like this. It "ls -l" multiple directories, and I want it to only list certain file types (yes I know, certain switches used with 'ls' will work, but I'm learning scripting here), and edit the rest out. So it will only list what I specify in the script. I've gotten so far as to list the files of directories and files I've masked, but it also lists any errors of any directories that don't exist, I would like to hide this, how would I do so?

How about posting what you have so far. Also include an example of how you run the program and what you would and would not expect to see. I'm just not sure what you are asking for.

Well, I can give you this line for instance:

ls -l *.vps | grep rwxr-wr-w

And if there are no vps files, I want it to go on w/o wasting a line of output, but it does telling me there are no vps files, but with me scanning a ton of directories, a bunch of garbage errors will come out with useful data. How can I hide these error messages?

How about this:

Code:

ls -l | grep "\.vps$"  | grep rwxr-wr-w
