Directory building script

[GML]

I'm attempting to write a script that will create a set of files and directories from a file of data, this must be able to be edited dynamically from the data file, so this can't be a script full of commands.

Here is the script so far:

#!/bin/bash
#################################################################
#	The datafile is called and defined here			#
#################################################################
while read inputline 
do
   name="$(echo $inputline | cut -d "," -f1)"
   fileordir="$(echo $inputline | cut -d "," -f2)"
   owner="$(echo $inputline | cut -d "," -f3)"
   group="$(echo $inputline | cut -d "," -f4)"
   ownper="$(echo $inputline | cut -d "," -f5)"
   groupper="$(echo $inputline | cut -d "," -f6)"
   otherper="$(echo $inputline | cut -d "," -f7)"
	echo $name $fileordir $owner $group $ownper $groupper $otherper
#################################################################
#	 Files and directories are created here			#
#################################################################
if [ "$fileordir" = "f" ]; then
	touch $name
#	Clears all permissions					#
	chmod ugoa-rwx $name
# 	Adds permissions for the user				#
	chmod u+$ownper $name
#	Adds permissions for groups				#
	chmod g+$groupper $name
#	Adds permissions for others				#
	chmod o+$otherper $name
	else
	mkdir $name
#	Clears all permissions					#
	chmod ugoa-rwx $name
#	Adds permissions for the user				#
	chmod u+$ownper $name
#	Adds permissions for the groups				#
	chmod g+$groupper $name
#	Adds permissions for others				#
	chmod o+$otherper $name
	exit
fi
done < /home/test/data.txt

Don't worry about the $owner and $group at the moment.

However, I'm running into a problem, the script only creates the file/directory (Which it does great so far) for the first line of the data file, how can I get it so it does every line of the datafile, rather than just the first?

here's a draft of the data file:
##name, type, owner, group, permissions##
directory_test ,d,test,hnd,rwx,rx,x “End of line”
file_test,f,root,root,rw, , “End of line”

The “End of line” is not part of the data file
.
The reason the spaces are blank in the permissions area (The last three) so that the chmod part of the script does not add any permissions that has been taken away by “chmod ugoa-rwx $name”.

I think you need some curly brackets. Here is an example of while usage

while {$x<10} {
puts "x is $x"
incr x
}


Basically you never closed the looping structure.

I don't think 'do' is needed.
