if the input is A B.py C D.py, the output turns into A.py B.py C.py D.py
I want to implement this feature in another script given below:
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "Round Name:"
read round
mkdir $round
read -r -p "Enter the filenames:" -a arr
for filenames in "${arr[@]}"; do
cp ~/Documents/Library/Template.py $round/$filenames
done
How can i do that?
It appears that what you want to do is to add a .py suffix to each argument unless there's one already present.
You can do this for a simple variable as in this example code
for item in A A.py
do
dest=${item%.py}.py
echo "Demonstrating that '$item' becomes '$dest'"
done
Here we're using a variable substitution to remove a trailing .py (if one is there to remove) and then always adding .py back on again. The single quotes inside the echo statement are not required.
$FileExtcome from?AintoA.pyandCintoC.py? Is it simply a case of adding.pyif there isn't already a.pyon the end (so that eitherAorA.pyare mapped to the sameA.py)?
