Hi. A shell scripting newbie here. I am trying to write a script that will create a running total of Sales, and increment a counter for each Sales entry, but when I executed the program it never stopped.
I'd appreciate any help to get this script straightened out.
TIA
Taking into account the earlier postings and error messages you will have seen during testing, by now your shell script should look something vaguely like this example:
The first line (the shebang line) states which shell we are using.
Indentation adds to readability.
We have appended an arbitary character "X" to "$sales" in the while statement to avoid the syntax error when we finally don't enter a value and want to exit the loop. (There are other ways of achieving the same effect).
For completeness and readablility we initialise $total .
We can extend the "echo" statements to improve the layout on the screen and to provide more information about what the output means. The "\c" in the first echo stops echo outputting a newline character such that the user enters the answer on the same line as the question.
