Re: Changing to a windows mounted share from a Mac OS X machine

texte = This is getting really frustrating!What works: Downloading files, parsing the info I need from the file which gives me the data I need for the name of the folder I need to create.What doesn't work - passing the new folder name info to a shell script so the script can create the folder.Here is the webcat piece (the variable is already defined)
[shell] sudo /Users/dale/Sites/iboxx/scripts/iboxx.sh echo got here [/shell]
Here is the contents of the script--- begin script --- #!/bin/sh su dale cd /Volumes/g3071/daily echo directory changed to: pwd mkdir [folderdate] echo [folderdate] - value of folderdate echo directory created ls -alecho script completed--- end script --- While it seems webcat will pass a variable to the shell, it doesn't pass it to a shell script (kind of makes sense). But now, how do I get this information ( [folderdate] ) to the script in order to make the new directory I need?Or, failing the ability to pass the variable to the script, does anyone know how to read in a text file under bash and assign it to a variable there?I could do a [writefile] with the new foldername with webcat and then have something in the bash scrip read it and use that to make the new directory.ThanksDaleon 21/6/02 2:06 pm, Alain Russell at alain.russell@blackpepper.co.nz wrote:> The line you will need to add is > > www
