I am having problems with a part of my script. Basically it asks for the user to enter a new id number for them. The catches are:-
* It cannot already be existing (it will check a file)
* It has to be four characters
* It can only be numbers
* It cannot call back into the function
The first three parts are simple but not calling itself is causing me problems. I was thinking about using nested while loops and heres what i have got so far. (It feels like i have lost the plot!!)
Code:
read input
while [ $input < 9999 ]
do
while [ 'echo $input | wc -c' < 4 ]
do
while [ "$input" = 'grep $input file' ]
do
read input
done
read input
done
read input
done
hey , everyone. I have a few questions about pieces of code and was wondering if someone could tell me what exactly they did or if they are even valid.
bool1 && bool2 || bool3 <---in what order do these get processed?
if (! isdigit(c)) <---What does this do?
i = j % 3; <---what does this do?... (4 Replies)

How to check the user input to be valid using shell script?
The valid input is in the format like as follows.
1. It can only have r,w,x or a hyphen and nothing else.
2. ensure the r, w, x are in the correct order.
for example: rwxr-xr-x is a valid format.

x11meta
X11META(1) General Commands Manual X11META(1)NAME
x11meta - output metafile graphics to X11
SYNOPSIS
x11meta [ -c | -r ] file ..
DESCRIPTION
X11meta reads each metafile file in sequence and sends it to the default X window system. If the option c is specified, the input files
are only conditioned for output, ie. expanded and sorted (see pexpand and psort). If the option r is instead specified, the input is
assumed already to be conditioned. If no input files are specified, the standard input is read.
-c Condition the input only.
-r Input is already conditioned, output only.
EXAMPLE
To plot the chart example.bar:
bgraph example.plt | x11meta
