unix - Shell Scripting Bug - dot printed after file name when argument is passed -

i have code when passed 2 arguments: file name , folder name prints out dot file when should print name of parameter.

something array argument using @ line 3 giving me result:

• for each in "${data[@]}"

if take away find instead using data=$(find f*), use data=$* print file name , folder name, want file contents inside folder(directory) printing blanks.

source code

data=$(find $*) amount=$(find $* | wc -l) each in "${data[@]}" sett=(${each[$i]}) done count=0 while [ $count -lt $amount ] echo "do want remove: ${sett[$count]}" read ans if [ $ans = y ] echo "" elif [ $ans = n ] echo "" fi done 

when passed arguments using data=$(find $*):

sh filewithcode fileinteractingwith folderinteractingwith

prints out:

• do want remove: .
• do want remove: directoryname
• do want remove: directoryname/file1
• do want remove: directoryname/file2

when using data=$*

prints out:

• do want delete: file name
• do want delete: folder name
• do want delete: [blank]
• do want delete: [blank]

expected output:

• do want delete: file name
• do want delete: folder name
• do want delete: folder name/file name1
• do want delete: folder name/file name2

i using putty programmer.

thanks in advance
