[SAC-HELP] select waveform with sac

[George Helffrich]

Dear Xuzhang -

	SAC is reading input from the shell script, not your terminal.  It is probably giving an end-of-file to the REPLY function.
	Use a review procedure structured like this:

# Define sac macro called /tmp/view.m
cat << 'EOF' > /tmp/view.m
message "Processing $1$"
read $1$
setbb resp "(reply Enter t to trash the file)"
if _%resp% eq _t
sc mv $1$ Trash
endif
'EOF'
# Create sac input file
ls *.SAC | awk '{print "m /tmp/view.m",$1}' > /tmp/sac.in
# Run SAC once, process all files
sac
qdp off
ygrid on
message "Many questions about files will happen now ..."
m /tmp/sac.in
quit
