LinuxQuestions.org - Seeking advice on script

Hi folks,

I have following script saved to /usr/sbin/make_iso_file

1)

Code:

function make_iso_file ()

{

    # initialize the following loop

    # we're going to build the args to mkisofs, set it to the empty string

    mkisofs_args="-R -o Image.iso -J -hide-rr-moved Document=/home/satimis/Document Photo=/home/satimis/Photo"

    # and set the paths variable to all the remaining command-line arguments

    paths="$@"

    # and now iterate through all paths given on the command-line

    for path in $paths

    do

        # for each path given, add the appropriate graft-point to mkisofs's arguments

        mkisofs_args="${mkisofs_args} ${path##*/}=${path}"

    done



    # and now call mkisofs

    mkisofs $mkisofs_args

}

2)
My goal is to create an ISO image applying following command line

# mkisofs -R -o Image.iso -J -hide-rr-moved Document=/path/to/Document Photo=/path/to/Photo"

from following directories;
Document=/path/to/Document
Photo=/path/to/Photo

plus argument for adding further directories with variated path, such as

dir-A=/path/to/dir-A
dir-B=/path/to/dir-B
etc.

which are added during executing the file "make_iso_file"

3)
# chmod +x /usr/sbin/make_iso_file

4)
# /usr/sbin/make_iso_file
/usr/sbin/make_iso_file: line 15: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/usr/sbin/make_iso_file: line 22: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Kindly advise how to fix the problem. TIA

B.R.
