I needed to convert several pnm image files to jpeg with pnmtojpeg. So I used this script, which I named 'pnm2jpg':
for f in *.pnm;
do pnmtojpeg -quality=85 "$f" > "${f%.pnm}.jpg";
done
This works very nicely. However, I would like to adapt it further so that it can be used for a single file as well.
In other words, if no files are specified in the command line, then process all the files.
$ pnm2jpg thisfile.pnm # Process only this file.
$ pnm2jpg # Process all pnm files in the current directory.
Your insight is greatly appreciated- Thank you.

Something like:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then
for f in *.pnm; do
pnmtojpeg -quality=85 "$f" > "${f%.pnm}.jpg"
done
else
pnmtojpeg -quality=85 "$1" > "${1%.pnm}.jpg"
fi
If you execute pnm2jpg
without an argument the if
block is processed.
if you execute pnm2jpg thisfile.pnm
the else
block is processed.
