Plumbing is nice, prompts are cute, but the ability to iterate values, walk down lists, munge basenames that really makes BASH worth using. The real fun starts when we start interpolating command output: hacking results of find or grep to generate paths, process commandlines, or count processors to set thread counts. This talk looks at a few commands ripe for munging and how to make more general, re-usable shell code from them. This is somewhat of a compliment to his well-received talk at the November SLUUG General meeting. The STLLUG meetings are usually on the third Thursday of each month * from 6:30PM to 9:00PM.*
