NAME
expr - evaluate expressions
SYNOPSIS
expr EXPRESSION
expr OPTION
DESCRIPTION
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
Print the value of EXPRESSION to standard output. A blank line below separates increasing precedence groups. EXPRESSION may be:
ARG1 | ARG2
ARG1 if it is neither null nor 0, otherwise ARG2
ARG1 & ARG2
ARG1 if neither argument is null or 0, otherwise 0
ARG1 < ARG2
ARG1 is less than ARG2
ARG1 <= ARG2
ARG1 is less than or equal to ARG2
ARG1 = ARG2
ARG1 is equal to ARG2
ARG1 != ARG2
ARG1 is unequal to ARG2
ARG1 >= ARG2
ARG1 is greater than or equal to ARG2
ARG1 > ARG2
ARG1 is greater than ARG2
ARG1 + ARG2
arithmetic sum of ARG1 and ARG2
ARG1 - ARG2
arithmetic difference of ARG1 and ARG2
ARG1 * ARG2
arithmetic product of ARG1 and ARG2
ARG1 / ARG2
arithmetic quotient of ARG1 divided by ARG2
ARG1 % ARG2
arithmetic remainder of ARG1 divided by ARG2
STRING : REGEXP
anchored pattern match of REGEXP in STRING
match STRING REGEXP
same as STRING : REGEXP
substr STRING POS LENGTH
substring of STRING, POS counted from 1
index STRING CHARS
index in STRING where any CHARS is found, or 0
length STRING
length of STRING
+ TOKEN
interpret TOKEN as a string, even if it is a
keyword like `match' or an operator like `/'
( EXPRESSION )
value of EXPRESSION
Beware that many operators need to be escaped or quoted for shells. Comparisons are arithmetic if both ARGs are numbers, else lexicograph-
ical. Pattern matches return the string matched between ( and ) or null; if ( and ) are not used, they return the number of characters
matched or 0.
