Hi there,
im having issue with comparing two variables, in a bash script.
im trying to do the following:
- get a word from user 1
- split the word into array
- get a character from user2
trying to compare the character entered by user 2 with every single character in the array entered by user1. here is the code:
and then from here, im having trouble finding a way to compare the entry of user2 with every single item in the array entered by user1.
Thanks in advance.

Reason: added code tags
Is there anyway that I can compare two Arrays to see if any new strings have been added in them? eg:
Array 1: Joe Bob Jane
Array 2: Joe Bob Jane Greg
It would then output a new array with the changes:
Array 3: Greg

Hey all,
This is my first post, and I am relatively new to linux/unix scripts. I am writing a bash script in which I am trying to extract one line from another file and parse specific words from the line into an array. So for example, I have a file called SortScans in which the first 5 lines... (9 Replies)

usort
USORT(3) 1 USORT(3)usort - Sort an array by values using a user-defined comparison functionSYNOPSIS
bool usort (array &$array, callable $value_compare_func)
DESCRIPTION
This function will sort an array by its values using a user-supplied comparison function. If the array you wish to sort needs to be sorted
by some non-trivial criteria, you should use this function.
Note
If two members compare as equal, their relative order in the sorted array is undefined.
Note
This function assigns new keys to the elements in $array. It will remove any existing keys that may have been assigned, rather than
just reordering the keys.
PARAMETERS
o $array
- The input array.
o $value_compare_func
- The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to
be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
int callback (mixed $a, mixed $b)
Caution
Returning non-integer values from the comparison function, such as float, will result in an internal cast to integer of the
callback's return value. So values such as 0.99 and 0.1 will both be cast to an integer value of 0, which will compare such
values as equal.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
usort(3) example
<?php
function cmp($a, $b)
{
if ($a == $b) {
return 0;
}
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}
$a = array(3, 2, 5, 6, 1);
usort($a, "cmp");
foreach ($a as $key => $value) {
echo "$key: $value
";
}
?>
The above example will output:
0: 1
1: 2
2: 3
3: 5
4: 6
Note
Obviously in this trivial case the sort(3) function would be more appropriate.
Example #2
usort(3) example using multi-dimensional array
<?php
function cmp($a, $b)
{
return strcmp($a["fruit"], $b["fruit"]);
}
$fruits[0]["fruit"] = "lemons";
$fruits[1]["fruit"] = "apples";
$fruits[2]["fruit"] = "grapes";
usort($fruits, "cmp");
while (list($key, $value) = each($fruits)) {
echo "$fruits[$key]: " . $value["fruit"] . "
";
}
?>
When sorting a multi-dimensional array, $a and $b contain references to the first index of the array.
The above example will output:
$fruits[0]: apples
$fruits[1]: grapes
$fruits[2]: lemons
Example #3
usort(3) example using a member function of an object
<?php
class TestObj {
var $name;
function TestObj($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
}
/* This is the static comparing function: */
static function cmp_obj($a, $b)
{
$al = strtolower($a->name);
$bl = strtolower($b->name);
if ($al == $bl) {
return 0;
}
return ($al > $bl) ? +1 : -1;
}
}
$a[] = new TestObj("c");
$a[] = new TestObj("b");
$a[] = new TestObj("d");
usort($a, array("TestObj", "cmp_obj"));
foreach ($a as $item) {
echo $item->name . "
";
}
?>
The above example will output:
b
c
d
Example #4
usort(3) example using a closure to sort a multi-dimensional array
<?php
$array[0] = array('key_a' => 'z', 'key_b' => 'c');
$array[1] = array('key_a' => 'x', 'key_b' => 'b');
$array[2] = array('key_a' => 'y', 'key_b' => 'a');
function build_sorter($key) {
return function ($a, $b) use ($key) {
return strnatcmp($a[$key], $b[$key]);
};
}
usort($array, build_sorter('key_b'));
foreach ($array as $item) {
echo $item['key_a'] . ', ' . $item['key_b'] . "
";
}
?>
The above example will output:
y, a
x, b
z, c
