Ok everyone, here is my script that won't work on my Sun Sparc2
SunOS 4.1.3 (a small portion of it):
# this program converts RainForm Gold format into grass
#
#!/bin/sh
echo "This program converts Rainform Gold data into"
echo "Grass binary data"
echo "Enter the name of the file to be converted: "
read infile
echo "Enter the resultant filename: "
read outfile
v.in.rform $infile $outfile
Now I know this should work and you guys know it should work but
when I run it I get the following errors:
This program converts Rainform Gold data into
Grass binary data
Enter the name of the file to be converted:
read: Command not found.
Enter the resultant filename:
read: Command not found.
infile: Undefined variable.
Now here is how my programmer changed the program and notice the
not so subtle changes:
# this program converts RainForm Gold format into grass
#
#!/bin/csh
echo -n "This program converts Rainform Gold data into"
echo -n "Grass binary data"
echo -n "Enter the name of the file to be converted: "
set infile=$<
echo -n "Enter the resultant filename: "
set outfile=$<
v.in.rform $infile $outfile
This works fine. What is happening here?
