I want to make a multiple flags for my script. And didn't work like what I want it.
#!/bin/bash
function wherecpy
{
echo "Plaes write where the files are located: "
read placefile
cd $placefile
}
function funcpy
{
wherecpy
echo ""
echo "Please choose the following:"
echo ""
echo "1. Interactive copy, answer yes or no (y/n) before doing the copy"
echo "2. Make backups of existing destination files"
echo "3. Preserve file attributes"
echo "4. Do a recursively copy"
echo "5. Back to main menu"
echo ""
echo -n "Enter Your Selection: "
read selection
echo ""
case $selection in
1) a="-i" ;;
2) b="--backup" ;;
3) c="--preserve=all" ;;
4) d="-r" ;;
0) return 0 ;;
esac
echo "Type the name of the file you wish to copy/backup: "
read file
echo "Type the name of the destination file/directory: "
read dest
cp $a $b $c $d "$file" "$dest"
if [ $? == 0 ]; then
echo "Success"
else
echo "failed."
fi
}
I want it to work like that :
Please type in the source file(s) to copy: File1 file2 file3
Please type in the destination: dir1
Copy successful.
Press any key to return to main menu.
