Hi,
i want to check if a variable var1 is not a or b or c
pseudo code:
If NOT (var1 = a or var1 = b or var1 = c)
then
...
fi
I want to use POSIX complaint Korn shell, and for string comparison
For the following code, logical.sh
I gave execute permissions to the script, however it only seems to run good when run by 'sh ' and not by the script itself.
We run all our jobs without specifying 'sh ' ahead
$ chmod 777 logical.sh
$ logical.sh
Var : j
./logical.sh[3]: syntax error at line 6 : `}' unexpected
$ sh logical.sh
Var : j
var not in the list
Var : b
var in the list
$
Where am i going wrong?
Is it necessary to enclose the variable in double quotes but not the literals on the other side of comparison operator?

Please tell me how to nest logical expressions in bash. I would like to nest logical expressions for arguments of the "test" command on bash.

Hello all. This is my first post/question on this site.
I’m a new Systems Analyst with previous experience with BASH. Although now I'm using AIX, and I’m trying to get a feel for the Korn shell (for those of you that don’t know AIX only uses the KORN shell).
I hope I put this into the correct... (10 Replies)
I have code as follows to perform some validations on C++ and Javascript files:

Hi all,
I am learning POSIX shell programming, and the book I read, uses the let command for integer arithmetic.
I have downloaded and use the shellcheck program on Linux.

This is just a fun project to see if it is possible to get a square root of a positive integer from 1 to 9200000 to 6 decimal places on a 64 bit architecture machine.
It is coded around dash and the results show the values from 0 to 10000.

LEARN ABOUT PHP
var_export
VAR_EXPORT(3) 1 VAR_EXPORT(3)var_export - Outputs or returns a parsable string representation of a variableSYNOPSIS
mixed var_export (mixed $expression, [bool $return = false])
DESCRIPTION var_export(3) gets structured information about the given variable. It is similar to var_dump(3) with one exception: the returned represen-
tation is valid PHP code.
PARAMETERS
o $expression
- The variable you want to export.
o $return
- If used and set to TRUE, var_export(3) will return the variable representation instead of outputting it.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the variable representation when the $return parameter is used and evaluates to TRUE. Otherwise, this function will return NULL.
NOTES
Note
When the $return parameter is used, this function uses internal output buffering so it cannot be used inside an ob_start(3) callback
function.
CHANGELOG
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
|Version | |
| | |
| | Description |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
| 5.1.0 | |
| | |
| | Possibility to export classes and arrays con- |
| | taining classes using the __set_state() magic |
| | method. |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
EXAMPLES
Example #1
var_export(3) Examples
<?php
$a = array (1, 2, array ("a", "b", "c"));
var_export($a);
?>
The above example will output:
array (
0 => 1,
1 => 2,
2 =>
array (
0 => 'a',
1 => 'b',
2 => 'c',
),
)
<?php
$b = 3.1;
$v = var_export($b, true);
echo $v;
?>
The above example will output:
3.1
Example #2
Exporting classes since PHP 5.1.0
<?php
class A { public $var; }
$a = new A;
$a->var = 5;
var_export($a);
?>
The above example will output:
A::__set_state(array(
'var' => 5,
))
Example #3
Using __set_state() (since PHP 5.1.0)
<?php
class A
{
public $var1;
public $var2;
public static function __set_state($an_array)
{
$obj = new A;
$obj->var1 = $an_array['var1'];
$obj->var2 = $an_array['var2'];
return $obj;
}
}
$a = new A;
$a->var1 = 5;
$a->var2 = 'foo';
eval('$b = ' . var_export($a, true) . ';'); // $b = A::__set_state(array(
// 'var1' => 5,
// 'var2' => 'foo',
// ));
var_dump($b);
?>
The above example will output:
object(A)#2 (2) {
["var1"]=>
int(5)
["var2"]=>
string(3) "foo"
}
NOTES
Note
Variables of type resource couldn't be exported by this function.
Note
var_export(3) does not handle circular references as it would be close to impossible to generate parsable PHP code for that. If you
want to do something with the full representation of an array or object, use serialize(3).
Warning
When var_export(3) exports objects, the leading backslash is not included in the class name of namespaced classes for maximum com-
patibility.
SEE ALSO print_r(3), serialize(3), var_dump(3).
