Problem with script

ZackMuc · 02-25-2025, 04:44 PM

Hello i wrote this backup App (backup.app) to backup my explorer-3.db

Quote:

#!/bin/sh

root_dir="/mnt/ext1/system/explorer-3"
local_dir="/mnt/ext1/temp"
pwd > test.txt
ls "$root_dir" > "$local_dir"/list.txt
cp "$root_dir"/explorer-3.db "$local_dir"/explorer-3.db
/ebrmain/bin/dialog 1 "" "File copied" "OK"
exit 0

the problem is the dialog is shown but no list.txt and also no copy is happening

Does local_dir exist? If not, you probably have to create it with mkdir.

Found the solution, was an encoding problem of the file. I should not edit it with an windows editor but linux or mac
