One thing that's nice about this type of thread is how different users get deep into their particular issues on dsl, then provide a resource for the rest of us by posting. If I feel the urge to fiddle with some of this stuff , Mikshaw's already done the work for us - all I have to do is find it on the forum.
PS: I like case statements, too. I find them readable. Globbing in them can be handy also. For eg, Karl Knopper uses this type of thing a lot to test for a string within a string:
| Code Sample | case $STRING in
*$PATTERN* ) do_something;;
*) do_something_else;;
esac |
or something like that. This runs much faster than doing
| Code Sample | | if echo $STRING | grep -q $PATTERN; then |
which can be slow.
