#!/bin/bash
echo "hello"
echo "how are you"
echo "today"
how can i put the entire script above into a basic c program?
i do not want to translate the bash code to a c code. i want C to run the bash code. is this possible?
i found this on the internet but i'm not sure i understand it:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define SHELLSCRIPT "\
for ((i=0 ; i < 10 ; i++))\n\
do\n\
echo \"Count: $i\"\n\
done\n\
"
int main()
{
puts("Will execute sh with the following script :");
puts(SHELLSCRIPT);
puts("Starting now:");
system(SHELLSCRIPT);
return 0;
}
i'm looking for a C program where i can just insert the bash code into it and have it run. something like this:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
puts("Will execute sh with the following script :");
puts(#!/bin/bash
echo "hello"
echo "how are you"
echo "today");
puts("Starting now:");
system(SHELLSCRIPT);
return 0;
}
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define SHELLSCRIPT "\
#/bin/bash \n\
echo \"hello\"\n\
echo \"how are you\"\n\
echo \"today\"\n\
"
int main()
{
puts("Will execute sh with the following script :");
puts(SHELLSCRIPT);
puts("Starting now:");
system(SHELLSCRIPT);
return 0;
}
The #define SHELLSCRIPT directive is used in C to define a named constant: SHELLSCRIPT which contains the shell script.
The back slash \ at the end of each line is used to type the code in next line for better readability.
The new line \n is used to put the code in next line.
Double quotes " within the shell script has to be escaped \" to distinguish it between the original opening and closing double quotes of constant value.
Finally the system function is called by passing the named constant: SHELLSCRIPT as argument which contains the shell script.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define SHELLSCRIPT "\
#/bin/bash \n\
echo \"hello\"\n\
echo \"how are you\"\n\
echo \"today\"\n\
"
int main()
{
puts("Will execute sh with the following script :");
puts(SHELLSCRIPT);
puts("Starting now:");
system(SHELLSCRIPT);
return 0;
}

I hope it makes sense now.
thank you soo much. you are a godsend. thank you.
i'm curious though, and please forgive my newbie status to c++, but can you please tell me how do i run this program? i like to keep things simple.
so if i named your script to mycplus, can i run it from the command line like this:
Code:
#mycplus
can a C program that contains a bash script like the one above be compiled and made into an executable?
the bash script i intend on embedding into this C program will be accepting several arguments from the command line. and it is a very big bash script. will C be able to catch the arguments?
meaning, after i have embedded the bash script into C, i will be running the C program from the command line like this:
the arguments are meant for the bash script. will C be able to pass it to the script?
if i was running the bash script alone without it being embedded into C, the bash script will accept and use the arguments just fine. but i just want to make sure when it is embedded in C there wont be problems.
No, that will not work. To make things simple I would suggest to write the bash script in a separate file and call it from C program by passing the required arguments:

that was my first option. but the whole goal here was to conceal the bash code. so i figure if i can embed it into C, i'll be able to hide the code. but if C is calling the script, the script will be open for everyone to read.
as i was typing this, something else occurred to me. i'm thinking, i can encode the script using a password. tell C to decode the script using the password i put in the C code. and then C can call the script after script has been decoded.
I can't seem to get this right. I've tried it every way imaginable using every trick I see on stackexchange and such. No luck. So nothing major here, something like:
