-> ls :
List all the file or folder present in the current directory.
Option:
* -l : List all the file and folder with permission, owner,
and group details in form of vertically alinged list.
* -a : Display hidden (.)dotfile as well.
-> pwd :
Print the current directory, present on the terminal.
-> date :
Print the current date and time.
-> chmod :
Used to change the permission of file or folder
Symbol Meaning :
* a : For all (including owner, group and others)
* u : For owner
* g : For group
* o : For others
* r : read permission ( number 4 )
* w : write permission ( number 2 )
* x : execute permission ( number 1 )
Option :
* a+x : Add execute permission for all.
* a-x : Remove execute permission for all.
* 755 : rwx - user , r-x - group, r-x - others
How to use?
chmod a+x "file/folder name"
chmod 755 "file/folder name"
-> echo :
To Print argument on the terminal
Option:
* -n : Not to add newline.
* ".." : String to print
* $PATH : variable ( environment variable, etc. )
-> $PATH environment variable :
Store the paths which help in invoking executable, script, etc,
without specifying whole path, where its present.
How to add path to $PATH?
export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)
or full path to intended directory.
-> SHABANG (#!/bin/bash)
Tells to use this interpreter to run the script.
Same as /bin/bash ./script
-> Variables :
To stores data and can be changed.
1. Explicit Defination :
VAR=value
COUNT=5
PATH=/var/lib
2. Read command :
read VAR
read COUNT
read PATH
Option :
* -p : to print the parameter before read.
How to use?
read -p "Your name: " NAME
* -s : to hide the input to be taken. Best use
for password.
How to use?
read -sp "Your age: " AGE
3. Command Substitution :
To store the output of the command executed to the variable.
How to use?
VAR=$(pwd) or VAR=`pwd`
How to use variables?
Use $variableName for using variables.
-> For Math Calculation :
1 . let
let RESULT=NUMBER+5
let NUMBER++
let NUMBER--
let NUMBER+=5
let NUMBER-=5
2. (( ))
RESULT=$(( NUMBER + 5 ))
3. []
RESULT=$[ NUMBER + 5 ]
4. expr
RESULT=$(expr $NUMBER + 5)
RESULT=`expr $NUMBER + 5`
RESULT=`expr 2 + 3`
5. bc ( used for floating point number )
RESULT=`echo "$NUMBER * 1.9" | bc`
-> Argument :
$0 - script name
$1 - first argument
$2 - second argument
$n - nth argument
"$@" - all argument, expands as "$1" "$2" "$3"
and so on.
"$*" - all argument as string, "$1c$2c$3",
where c is IFS (Internal field
separator), which is usally whitespace.
$# - arguments count
-> Redirecting and piping:
Redirecting
* STDIN (0) - Standard input (data provided to program)
* STDOUT (1) - Standard output (what program prints, defaultly to the terminal)
* STDERR (2) - Standard error (what error message program prints, defaultly to terminal)
examples:
cat file1.txt > output_from_cat.txt
cat file1.txt 1>output_from_cat.txt
cat file1.txt 2>error.txt
cat file1.txt 1>output_from_cat.txt 2>error.txt
cat file1.txt &> output_from_cat.txt (from both 1 and 2)
cat file1.txt 1> output_from_cat.txt 2>&1(redirecting error to output)
cat file1.txt >> output_from_cat.txt(adding output instead of replacing it)
Piping
output of preceeding program is input to succeeding
program.
Program1 | Program2
examples:
cat file.txt | wc -l
cat file.txt | head -5 | tail -3 | wc -l
-> Exit Status
echo $?
$? will give a return value of previous command.
It's the return value, called EXIT STATUS.
Successfully exiting give 0 value otherwise
non-zero value.
We can exit script using exit command.
exit command can be used with number 0 - 255.
-> If Statement
if[ condition ]; then
....
elif[ condition ]; then
....
elif[ condition ]; then
....
else
....
fi
* AND with if statement ?
if[ condition ] && [ condition ]; then
....
fi
* OR wiht if statement ?
if[ condition ] || [ condition ]; then
....
fi
* Negate if condition
if[ !condition ]; then
....
fi
if![ condition ]; then
....
fi
-> Mathematical comparison:
* Operands
$ -eq equal to
$ -ne not equal to
$ -gt greater than
$ -lt less than
$ -ge greater than or equal to
$ -le less than or equal to
Examples:
if [ $VAR -eq 5 ]; then
if [ $VAR -gt 7 ]; then
if [ $VAR -eq 5 ] && [ $COUNT -ne 1 ]; then
-> String Comaparison
* Comapare two strings
[ "$STR1" = "$STR2" ]
[ "$STR1" != "$STR2" ]
[ "$STR1" = "hello" ]
[ "$STR1" != "hello" ]
* Compare two strings - quotation marks?
Bash can handle it in another way [[ ]]
[[ $STR1 = $STR2 ]]
[[ $STR1 != $STR2 ]]
[[ $STR1 = "hello" ]]
[[ $STR1 != "hello ]]
This is not widely used and most scripts
are using quotation marks with single
brackets
* Test if string is empty
[ -z "$STR1" ] returns true if STR1 holds
an empty string
[[ -z $STR1 ]] possible, but not widely used
[ -n "$STR1" ] returns true if STR1 holds
a non-empty string
[[ -n $STR1 ]] possible, but not widely used
* Alphabetically compare two strings
[[ $STR1 > $STR2 ]]
[[ $STR1 < $STR2 ]]
No choice!!!
* Wildcards
[[ $STR1 == string-with-wildcards ]]
* Regular expression
[[ $STR1 =~ $regex ]]

-> Regex in Bash
* [[ $STRING =~ $REGEX ]]
* REGEX="http://.*\.jpg"
* ${BASH_REMATCH[0]} -> part of the STRING which match
REGEX (e.g. http://images.jpg)
* ${BASH_REMATCH[1]} -> part of the REGEX which is
enclosed in first parentheses,
e.g.
REGEX="http://(.*)\.jpg" -> which
would represents as "images"
