I am new to zenity
and I am trying to make a simple script for loading a file using zenity --file-selection
and the wc
command to get the word count of that file. I have successfully made a form which can be used to browse the file but I am unable to get any output. Can you please tell me where I am making the mistake?
My current script is:
#creates a box
if zenity --entry \
--title="Word count" \
--text="Enter file location" \
--entry-text "File path"
then
#Zenity file selection code for browsing and selecting files
FILE=`zenity --file-selection --title="Select a File"`
case $? in
0)
echo "\"$FILE\" selected.";;
1)
echo "No file selected.";;
-1)
echo "An unexpected error has occurred.";;
esac
# To show the location in the text box
if zenity --entry \
--title="Word count" \
--text="Enter file location" \
--entry-text "$FILE"
then
#word counting code
word_count='wc $FILE'
zenity --info --title="Word Counted" --text="Counted words $word_count"
fi
fi
FILE=`zenity ...
, yetwordcount='wc..
?
