I'm trying to generate a file that will make hundreds of symbolic links
but I'm missing the right combination of 's and `s within the system
noredraw command.
here's where the magic takes place :
Then: system noredraw "umask 0;cd /vegedoc;FI=`find . -name"<imp(4){".pd
f -print`;echo 'ln -s $FI"<dd{"' >> /usr2/tmp/foundit"
the outfile being created looks like this :
ln -s $FI
/vegedoc/CoreCenter/AMC/AMC-150/1---A22-EnsambleDeMotor/E-150-A22.pdf
The $FI becomes not a variable when you put in between 's but if I don't
put the 's the system tries to execute a ln command.
if I replace the echo part with " ; echo $FI >> /usr2/tmp/foundit"
I get the real value of $FI.
Can you find the problem ??
Thanks
