Simple Shell Programs

#print date and time - today.sh echo "Today is:" date

Save it as today.sh
Run: sh today.sh

#sample.sh #!/bin/sh # assign a value: a="hello world" # now print the content of

"a":
echo "A is:"

echo $a

#ex-2 grep word in a file - grep_ex.sh echo "Enter the search string:" read string echo "Enter the file name:" read filename grep -n "$string" $filename

If statement Type 1: if condition is true then do this if Type 2: if condition is true then do this else do that if

#if stmt - if_ex.sh echo "Enter the search string:" read string echo "Enter the file name:" read filename grep -n "$string" $filename # $? gives exit status of last command if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo " Yes,the word present in the file" else echo "No,word not present" fi

o/p : [oss@pc021698 ~]$ sh if_ex.sh Enter the search string: date Enter the file name: today.sh 2:date Yes,the word present in the file o/p: [oss@pc021698 ~]$ sh if_ex.sh Enter the search string: year Enter the file name: today.sh No,word not present

Passing values from command line: $0 - Program name $1 - First argument $2 - Second arg. $# - No.of arg $? - Exit status

#print date and time and cmd arg - today_1.sh echo "Today is:" date echo No .of arg:$# echo Program name:$0 o/p: [oss@pc021698 ~]$ sh today_1.sh Today is: Fri Mar 7 00:28:27 IST 2008 No .of arg:0 Program name:today_1.sh

#grep using cmd line -grep_ex2.sh echo "Entered search string is:"$1 echo "Entered file name :"$2 grep -n "$1" $2 # $? gives exit status of last command if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo " Yes,the word present in the file" else echo "No,word not present" fi

o/p: [oss@pc021698 ~]$ sh grep_ex2.sh date today.sh Entered search string is:date Entered file name :today.sh 2:date Yes,the word present in the file

#simple for loop for i in 1 2 3 do echo "==>$i" done #for loop - for_ex.sh for file in *. do echo Hi done #simple for loop-3 for (( j = 1 ; j <= 5; j++ )) do echo -n "$j " done

#print files with extension .c for file in *.c do echo "Filename==>$file" #place any no.of cmds cp $file /home/oss/cprogs done

while loop syntax


while [ condition ]

do
code block;

done

#while_ex.sh

verify="n"
while [ "$verify" != y ]

do
echo "Enter option: "

read option
echo "You entered $option. Is this correct? (y/n)" read verify

done
