# If statements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Test statement equality as so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
read t1
|
||
|
|
read t2
|
||
|
|
if test $t1 != $t2; then
|
||
|
|
echo 'variables do not match'
|
||
|
|
else
|
||
|
|
echo 'variables match'
|
||
|
|
fi
|
||
|
|
exit 0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```

# Case Structure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These deal with multiple states rather than forking conditions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Simple case demonstration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
echo "What's your favourite creature?"
|
||
|
|
read CRE
|
||
|
|
case $CRE in
|
||
|
|
human | humanoids ) echo "Why is $CRE always standard?"
|
||
|
|
;;
|
||
|
|
troll | monsters ) echo "Not exactly known for their character ..."
|
||
|
|
;;
|
||
|
|
owlbears | monsters ) echo "Really you're a wizard fan"
|
||
|
|

|
||

# While and Until
|
||
|
|
This prints from 10 until 2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> declare -i COUNTER
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> COUNTER=10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> while [ $COUNTER -gt 2 ]; do
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> echo The counter is $COUNTER
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> COUNTER=COUNTER-1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> done
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> exit 0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There's also 'until', which stops when something is true, rather than keeping going when something is true.
|
||

|

|
|
> du -sh $i

# Sequences
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sequences tool counts up from X in jumps of Y to number Z.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Count from 1 to 10.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> seq 10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Count from 4 to 11.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> seq 4 11
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Count from 1 to 100 in steps of 5.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> seq 1 5 100
|
