I can not find the corrent syntax for what I am trying to acheive with a while loop. Having said that I'm not exactly sure what you would call it so I have been googling with no success probably for that reason.
I am just working with some sub directories except there is one I don't want to use so I have a while loop like the following; if we stubmle into the sub directory I wish to leave alone then there is an IF statement and I have used the break command which is wrong, I don't want to end this whole loop I just want to skip onto the next increment of the loop as it were skipping this sub directory. Break is the wrong command but what should it be? Sorry I can't be any clearer but I don't know exactly what you would call this (which is why I am having no success finding it for my self!)
#!/bin/bash
find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read FOLDER
do
if [ $FOLDER == "./not_this_folder_oh_no!" ]; then
break
fi
<otherwise do some magic here>
done
Many thanks for your time and input.
Regards,
James ;)
