script with more then one switch
Hi, have managed to code a script that has a simple menu so for instance if I run:
this will call a help function that displays the programs help, I have coded this in using a case statement so if: case is h) call the help function
The problem is I don't know how to code in the functionality for more then one switch on the same line!
this is what i mean:
Quote:
./theprogram.sh -f acces.log -s ip
In the above the program has two switches -f is file so the program knows where the file is which is access.log and -s is the sort option and I want it to sort the access.log file by ip
Basically the program essentially modifys how a squid log file looks , so for eg you can list the log from a-z based on hostname would be one functionality.
Any ideas? I am really stuck.

git-sh-i18n
GIT-SH-I18N(1) Git Manual GIT-SH-I18N(1)
NAME
git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts
SYNOPSIS
. "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"
DESCRIPTION
This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish
scripts and/or are writing new ones.
The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell script. It provides
wrappers for the GNU gettext and eval_gettext functions accessible through the gettext.sh script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on
systems without GNU gettext.
FUNCTIONS
gettext
Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1). Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in
a later version.
eval_gettext
Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1) with variables expanded by the git-sh-
i18n--envsubst(1) helper. Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in a later version.
