I'm trying to write multiple output from a script to their own file, with incremented filename.
INPUT="$1"
# while loop
while IFS= read -r -n1 char
do
# display one character at a time
echo "$char" > filename
done < "$INPUT"
this is what i did so far, although it doesn't have the incremental count. Since the script print one char at a time, i need it to be put in it's own file, with an incremental or alphanumeric filename, so there no overwriting of the files.
This creates a file name per string plus the increment.
input="$1"
counter=1
while IFS= read -r -n1 char; do
((counter++ <= ${#input} ))
echo "$char" > "filename$char$counter"
done < "$input"
To print the output to stdout and to the file, change
echo "$char" > "filename$char$counter"
To
echo "filename$char$counter" | tee "filename$char$counter"
If you need to parse a string need more test for the input and then
< <(printf '%s' "$input")
instead of
< "$input"
"$num"is defined/created some where?
