multiple files for version below 1.2.5

[DBSMITH at OhioHealth.com]

Stewart,
I am trying to decrypt more than one file if ls -la |wc -l /dir is -gt one.
Thanks for the tips, but my $var variable actually contains both file names
like so:

      for i in $var
      do
            echo $i
      done

/psofthr/hr88prd/intf/aflac/inbound/filename1
/psofthr/hr88prd/intf/aflac/inbound/filename2

so I am ok there, but when I placed the echo infront of the gpg string I
found that the same PID is being used.

gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt --output
/psofthr/hr88prd/intf/aflac/inbound/OHIO_HEALTH.gpg.319548
/psofthr/hr88prd/intf/aflac/inbound/OHIO_HEALTH_20050324.TXT.pgp
gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt --output
/psofthr/hr88prd/intf/aflac/inbound/OHIO_HEALTH.gpg.319548
/psofthr/hr88prd/intf/aflac/inbound/OHIO_HEALTH_20050408.TXT.pgp

Finally, in the decryption process you need two uniq filenames b/c there
are two decryption processes which is why I used $$.

      gpg $p $de $outp $dec.$$ $i

Anyone more ideas?  thank you,

Hint 1: Use echo to help you debug - i.e.
    echo cat $file
    echo gpg ......
  That way you can see what your script is _trying_ to do, not what
  you want it to do.

Questions:
  What are you trying to do?  Decrypt all the files in the directory
  "/data/files" ?  This script won't do that.  You are passing
  "/data/files" to GnuPG, not a list of the files IN that directory.
  (You will see this when you use the echo hint above.)

  If you want all of the files inside /data/files, set
  var=/data/files/* and that should work.


Hint 2: I find it useful (others will disagree) to put brackets around
  my variables to let the shell be sure what I want it to do...
  So the line:
    for i in $var
  would become
    for i in ${var}
  Then there is no confusion when you want to do something like
    ${var}stuff
  However that is an aside.


Cheers,

S.
