This: |
| 20 |
j = basename $i .jpg |
| 21 |
should be more like this: |
| 22 |
j=$( basename $i .jpg ) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Or: j=${i%.jpg} |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
That is, there must be no whitespace around the '='. And in order to set j |
| 27 |
to the result of a command, use $( command ) or ` command `. |
