I'm writing a bash script which takes files and directories as arguments.
It will loop through its arguments and rename the current argument if some condition is met. When this happens I want also to repeat the current loop iteration.
Can I do such thing without resorting to while or c-style for loops?
Use while instead of if when checking the "some condition".
for file in "$@" ; do
while [[ $file ... ]] ; do
mv "$file" ...
done
done
for FILE in <Your_Path>
do
if [ -f $args ]; then
if [ <check_your_condition_here> ]; then
mv $args $args_renamed
fi
elif [ -d $args ]; then
if [ <check_your_condition_here> ]; then
mv $args $args_renamed
fi
fi
done
Simply set the flags to repeat the loop for that iteration, which needs to be dynamic considering the runtime values. IHTH
