My First Shell Script
Ok. So my husband (Infinite Recursion) has been coding the last few nights, so I decided I wanted to learn a few things too. He gave me an assignment to write a script that would echo the parameter input. Well, it only took me about 10 minutes, and I got it written, and working (ALL by myself with NO help from him I might add)! Honestly, I know absolutely NOTHING about this stuff, so I'm beaming right now. He's SO proud of me too! lol Anyway, he wanted me to post y'all my script, so here it is...
#!/bin/sh # Rebecca Powers # November 22, 2005 # Script will display parameter input. echo -n "Please type your parameter: " read -e PARAMETER echo You typed in: $PARAMETER Last edited by Teecha; Nov 23rd, 2005 at 1:35 AM. |

Yep... definitely very proud of her... especially considering I was just expecting "echo $1"

Great job. I woulda used "echo $1". Keep it maintainable, although IR has asked me not to fire you, whatever the provocation.
