Thread: Bash Shell Scripts

Hi

Im needing to write a Bash shell script which will transfer a .PDB filename to a C program which will then be doing things to that file.

Anyone any ideas where to start would be appreciated!!!

if i've read your question correctly, you can call command-line programs in bash using back-ticks ````

so write and compile you c code (that accepts the filename as a argument) and in bash go:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

FILENAME=filename.pdb
RESULT=`my_c_program $FILENAME`
echo $RESULT

do you think this should be on the linux programming board?
