1 Vim Commands vim filename Shell Programming (ch 10) IT244 - Introduction to Linux / Unix Instructor: Bo Sheng Add contents: i/a Back to command mode: ESC Save the file: :w Delete: x Quit: :q 1 2 The order of executing The order of executing ~it244/it244/scripts/if1 3 4 The order of executing Built-in utility test man test (-eq) ~it244/it244/scripts/chkargs The order of executing Read arguments ~it244/it244/scripts/read3args $#: the number of arguments exit 1: terminate with a status code

2 The order of executing test (-f) and arguments ~it244/it244/scripts/is_ordfile The order of executing test ([ ]) and arguments ~it244/it244/scripts/chkargs2 Other options (Table 10-1) White spaces [ $# -eq 0 ] Output error message: echo 1>&2 7 8 The order of executing..else The order of executing..else Read arguments ( shift ) ~it244/it244/scripts/shift2args ( $@ ) ~it244/it244/scripts/allargs 9 10 The order of executing..else Optional arguments ~it244/it244/scripts/out if..then..elif

3 if..then..elif Example: Compare 3 input words and find the match (word1, word2, word3) if..then..elif Example: Compare 3 input words and find the match (word1, word2, word3) 1 & 2 & 3, 1 & 2, 1 & 3, 2 & 3, no match if word1=word2 =word3 then elif word1=word2 then elif word1=word3 then elif word2=word3 then else fi 1 & 2 & 3 1 & 2 1 & 3 2 & 2 No match if..then..elif Example: Compare 3 input words and find the match (word1, word2, word3) Combine two conditions test condition1 -a condition2 test condition1 -o condition2 ~it244/it244/scripts/if3 for loop for loop-index in argument-list ~it244/it244/scripts/fruit ~it244/it244/scripts/dirfiles for loop A range for argument-list {1..10}, {a..z} for loop-index in range ~it244/it244/scripts/for_range ~it244/it244/scripts/for_range2 for loop Repeat operations ~it244/it244/scripts/for_print Nested loops Example ~it244/it244/scripts/for_print

4 for loop for loop-index (in while loop while test-command ~it244/it244/scripts/for_test while loop while test-command : ~it244/it244/scripts/count Arithmetic evaluation: ((a=b+2)) ~it244/it244/scripts/for_while_print until loop until test-command until loop until test-command : ~it244/it244/scripts/guessnumber ~it244/it244/scripts/guessnumber2 break and continue break: jump out of the loop continue: proceed to Example: ~it244/it244/scripts/brk

5 select select varname [in arg ] ~it244/it244/scripts/select1 select select varname [in arg ] PS3: select prompt $REPLY: index of the selected item Terminate: exit, break : ~it244/it244/scripts/select Parameters and Variables Special parameters $#: number of arguments $1-$n: arguments $0: name of the script : ~it244/it244/scripts/abc./abc ~it244/it244/scripts/abc basename: ~it244/it244/scripts/abc2 basename ~it244/it244/scripts/abc Parameters and Variables Special parameters $$: PID number echo $$ ps : ~it244/it244/scripts/id2./id2 echo $$ Parameters and Variables Special parameters $?: exit status ls; echo $? ls xyz; echo $? cat yyy; echo $? : ~it244/it244/scripts/es./es echo $? echo $?
