Suppose four filenames are supplied then the first file should get copied into second file, the third file should get copied into four

Posted By: Isabella Campbell     Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu     Views: 5051

A shell script receives even number of filenames. Suppose four filenames are supplied then the first file should get copied into second file, the third file should get copied into fourth file, and so on. If odd number of filenames are supplied then no copying should take place and an error message should be displayed.

Code for Suppose four filenames are supplied then the first file should get copied into second file, the third file should get copied into four in Unix / Linux / Ubuntu

CheckNo=`expr $# % 2`
    if [ $CheckNo -ne 0 ]
    then
            echo "Enter Even Number Of Arguments."else
            cnt=1
            while [ $cnt -lt $# ]
            do
                    cp $1 $2
                    shift
                    shift
                    cnt=`expr $cnt + 2`
            done
    fi
