Full Discussion: Too many if statements..
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Too many if statements.. Post 302575151 by rdcwayx on Sunday 20th of November 2011 06:04:11 PM

Code:
# Checking if necessary directories have been made previously and making them if not
if [ ! -d ~/wp ]
then mkdir ~/wp
fi
if [ ! -d ~/ss ]
then mkdir ~/ss
fi
if [ ! -d ~/pics ]
then mkdir ~/pics
fi

change to:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/wp  ~/ss ~/pics

Code:
 -p, --parents     no error if existing, make parent directories as needed

---------- Post updated at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous update was at 09:57 AM ----------

Code:
read OPTION
while [ "$OPTION" != y -a "$OPTION" != n ]
do
echo You must enter y or n
read OPTION
done

if [ "$OPTION" = y ]
then
./scriptfile
else [ "$OPTION" = n ]
exit
fi

change to:

Code:
while true
do
    read OPTION
    case $OPTION in
        [yY] | [yY][Ee][Ss] )
                ./scriptfile
                ;;

        [nN] | [n|N][O|o] )
                exit 
                ;;
        *) echo "You must enter y or n"
            ;;
    esac
done

For the rest, if you understand above code, you can update by yourself.

locale::codes::langfam

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Locale::Codes::LangFam(3)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::LangFam;

	  $lext = code2langfam('apa');		       # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
	  $code = langfam2code('Apache languages');    # $code gets 'apa'

	  @codes   = all_langfam_codes();
	  @names   = all_langfam_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in
       ISO 639-5.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5
       language family codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
       constant that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
	  $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages.

	   This is the default code set.

ROUTINES

       code2langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       langfam2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       langfam_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_langfam_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_langfam_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
