Re: FWD: About Bash Script

[Curtis]

Here's what I have but i'm getting some errors

#!/bin/bash


if ! (-e b.txt);



then

mv a.txt b.txt

exit

fi



#The previous commands checks to see if b.txt is NOT already there, if
NOT, it renames a.txt to b.txt



#If the script gets here, b.txt EXISTS..........

# does_exist is a recursive function....looking at b.txt(i) ......the
first b.txt(some number) it finds NOT existing...it creates....



set i = 1

does_exist()

{



if (-e b.txt.$1);

then

i = i +1

does_exist

else

mv a.txt b.txt.$i

exit

fi

}
