I'm trying to run this script:
----------------mkdirhier.sh start-------------------
newline='
'
IFS=$newline
case ${1--} in
-*) echo >&2 "mkdirhier: usage: mkdirhier directory ..."; exit 1
esac
status=
echo $directory
for directory
do
case $directory in
'')
echo >&2 "mkdirhier: empty directory name"
status=1
continue;;
*"$newline"*)
echo >&2 "mkdirhier: directory name contains a newline:
\`\`$directory''"
status=1
continue;;
///*) prefix=/
echo prefix: $prefix;; # See Posix 2.3 "path".
//*) prefix=//
echo prefix: $prefix;;
/*) prefix=/
echo prefix: $prefix;;
-*) prefix=./
echo prefix: $prefix;;
*) prefix=
echo prefix: $prefix;;
esac
IFS=/
set x $directory
case $2 in
*/*) # IFS parsing is broken
IFS=' '
set x `echo $directory | tr / ' '`
;;
esac
IFS=$newline
shift
for filename
do
path=$prefix$filename
prefix=$path/
shift
test -d "$path" || {
paths=$path
for filename
do
if [ "$filename" != "." ]; then
path=$path/$filename
paths=$paths$newline$path
fi
done
mkdir $paths || status=$?
break
}
done
done
exit $status
----------------mkdirhier.sh end--------------------
Input: ./mkdirhier.sh "/home/jgriffin/test/level1/level2" >& out.txt
Here's the output:
prefix: /
mkdir: cannot create directory `//home': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `//home/jgriffin': No such host or network path
mkdir: cannot create directory `//home/jgriffin/test': No such host or network
path
mkdir: cannot create directory `//home/jgriffin/test/level1': No such host or
network path
mkdir: cannot create directory `//home/jgriffin/test/level1/level2': No such
host or network path
Why does Cygwin append a extra backslash to the path?
Thanks,
Joseph
