example:
#using while loop
x=0
while [ $x -lt 10 ]
do
echo $x
x=$(($x+1))
done
#using until loop
until [ $x -lt 0 ]
do
echo $x
x=$(($x-1))
done
#using multiple while loop
x=0
while [ $x -lt 10 ]; do
y="$x"
while [ $y -ge 0 ]; do
printf "$y"
y=$(($y-1))
done
echo x=$(($x+1))
done
#while associate with stdin redirection(while循环和输入重定向,从文件中读出一行)
#!/bin/bash
#calculate the line counts of a file(计算一个文件的行数)
if [ -f "$1" ]
then
i=0
while read LINE
do
i=$(($i+1))
done"$1"
echo $i
fi
#invoking like this: source ./script_filename file(scan file)
for
syntax
for x in list
do
commands
done
description
assign each word in list to x in turn and execute commands. if list is omitted, it is assumed that positional parameters from the commands line, which are storecd in $@, are to be used.
example
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
do
echo $i
done
example2:
#!/bin/bash
#copy all files of $HOME/files/ to $HOME/c/(复制当前主目录下的目录为files里的所有文件到主目录下的目录c中)
for j in $HOME/files/*
do
cp $HOME/files/* $HOME/c
done
select
syntax
select variable in list
do
case variable in
var1) commands;;
var2) commands;;
.....
varN) commands
esac
done
example:
#!/bin/bash
select digit in 1 2 3 4 5
do
case $digit in
1|2) printf "this is the digit 1 and 2 \n";;
3) printf "this is the digit 3\n";;
4) printf "this is the digit 4\n";;
*) printf "this the other digit\n";break
esac
done
change the value of ps3 to change the prompter of select loop:
$PS3="please make a selection => "; export PS3
break
syntax
break [n]
description
Exit from the innermost(most deeply nested) for, whie, or until or from the n innermost levels of the loop
example:
for i in 1 2 3 4 5
do
mkdir -p /mnt/backup/docs/ch0${i}
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
for j in doc c h m pl sh
do
cp $HOME/docs/ch0${i}/*.${j} /mnt/backup/docs/cho${i}
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then break 2;
fi
else
printf "could not make backup directorys.\n"
fi
done
fi
done
continue
syntax
continue [n]
skip remaining commands in a for, while, or until loop, resuming whith the next iteration of the loop(or skipping n loops)
example
for FILE in $FILES
do
if [ ! -f $FILE ]
echo "ERROR, the $FILE is not a file"
continue
fi
#process file
done
exit
syntax
exit [n]
Exit a shell script with status n. The value for n can be 0(success) or nonzero(failure). if n is got given, the exit status is that of the most recent command.
example:
if ! test -f somefile
then
echo "somefile is not a file"
exit 1
fi
read
syntax
read [option] variable1 [variable2 .....]
Read one line of standard input, and assign each word to the corresponding variablewith all remain words assinged to the last variable.
example
echo "Enter last-name, height, and weight"
read lastname everythigelse
echo $lastname
echo $everythingelse
The name entered is placed in variable $lastname; all of the other values, includeing the spaces between them, are placed in $everythingelse.
return
syntax
return [n]
This command is used inside a function to exit the function with status n. if n is omitted, the exit status of the previously executed command is returned.
shift
shift [n]
shift positional parameters down n elements, if n is omitted, the default is 1, so $2 become $1, $3 become $2, and so on.(省去前n个元素,如果n 省略,就是省去第一个参数)
如:
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
echo "the options less than 2"
exit 1
fi
shift
for i in $@
do
case $i in
witi) echo "this is file1";;
apple) echo "this is a apple";;
orange) echo "$2 this is the second item,the '$#' is $# and the '$*' is $* and
the $@";;
*) echo "this is other";;
esac
done
#the script terminate
invoking it: $source ./file2 kiwi apple orange banana
