How check if it is direcory in awk

[omasnjak]

Hi people,

I know I read it in some book, but I cannot find it at moment.
Let say I have in some directory and some files and directorie s in that directory.
How using awk to check if it is directory in that directory ( can you follow ) or just perform some actions on directories, and not on regular files.
Thank you in advance.

Regards.

You could use the -type d expression to find to check for a directory and then call your awk if it is.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

Don't think you can, from awk. But you can from bash or perl. Maybe you should try another language?

You could read in the output of ls -l and check for 'd's on the beginnings of the lines.
