I dont get why I only get the first item of multiple passed strings.
Code:
printe() { # STR1 STR2 STR3
# Simply prints the strings as passed
# It requires 3 strings to use the center
case "$1" in
"--"|"-")
# Read pipe, expect one line
read LEFT CENTER RIGHT
set "$LEFT" "$CENTER" "$RIGHT"
echo " --------------"
echo "$LEFT $CENTER $RIGHT :: ${@}"
;;
esac
}
${ECHO:-\echo} This is piped | printe -
Output I get:
Code:
--------------
This :: This
Output I expected:
Code:
This is piped :: This is piped
Though, 'everything' after the :: is just from my 'verification', and that failed, which increased my confusion.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you
EDIT -----------------------------
Errr... ok I need to rephrase this.... hold on
Just figured, it'll work just fine with echo!
But, I have to use printf because there are systems not having echo - at least that's what my memory tells me from when I last tested these things.
I'll try to figure it out now, but if you would happend to have a solution at hand, I'd be happy to read it

LOL ok, was a simple thing...
Just regular syntax fixed it
/solved
But, what EXACTLY does printf %q str do?
Helps says: That it can be reused as shell input..
I dont get it - because I can also use %s with the same result (in my situational case here right now).
Does that just mean that, probable codes would be preserved?
i made a lot of processes. here is the code:
main()
{
printf("\nEnter K="); scanf("%d",&k);
printf("Enter L="); scanf("%d",&l);
printf("\nFather id=%d\n",getpid());
x=0;
makechild();
sleep(2);
return 1;
}
int makechild()
{
for(q=1;q<=k;q++)
{
if(f=fork())

I need to do the same for other sources.
To create new scripts and to deal with multiple bash files sounds not logical. It is a bit hard to manage for me..
I wondered if it was possible to make my input file as variable.
Then I... (1 Reply)
