Hi IOhannes,
thanks for the clarifications. I understand now why [shell] doesn't stay in "/home/derek" between commands.
I'm not so good at shell scripts, so bear with me for a second....
What I'd like to do is pass variables.... so, for example:
cd /home/derek && mkdir test_$1
in this complicated example i would suggest to run "mkdir /home/derek/test_$1" :-)
--where $1 is a number created by PD and sent to the shell script. The dir name could be constructed by [nsprint], for example, as it may have other variable as well. The shell script would only need a single variable to receive the constructed dir name.
Does that make sense? Is this easy to do?
if it get's more complicated just do it like this
#!/bin/sh cd /home/derek mkdir test_$1
and call your script with [/path/to/myscript.sh $1(
