Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Fall through case structure Post 302337389 by zaxxon on Friday 24th of July 2009 04:11:57 AM

You answered it yourself - the ;; is missing behind A ie. the check for "1".
For having A true and wanting B executed too, you should just add the execution of B behind A. It is not very well written then but it works. If there are more complex things but "echo 1" or "echo 0", you might want to write these actions as functions above the case construct. So you will only have to call the function names.

Example:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

my_func1()
{
     echo 1
     # and some more things to do in here maybe
     # ...
}

my_func2()
{
     echo 0
     # and some more things to do in here maybe
     # ...
}


v1=1
case ${v1} in
    "1")
        my_func1
        my_func2
        ;;
    "0")
        my_func2
        ;;
    *)
        ;;
esac

exit 0
