Hi guys, man bash doesn't help much here nor does the WWW.
(I have discovered there is technically no limit to a bash array.)
I am thinking of adding a new full manual inside AudioScope.sh.
A few questions here.
The main question is, assuming I go ahead with this idea:-
Is there a limit to a string size for echo to be able to print or redirect?
It will look something like this inside single quotes used ONLY at the start and end of the string:-
I already know that technically there is no limit to the script size itself but this is different.
Once saved there will be a command call to 'less' inside the script if required to read the file generated.
Assuming this can be done then is it possible to delete the lines from the LIVE running script, from.......... # Start of manual... to # End of manual...
..........and then resave the running script less all of these lines on the fly?
In essence, a self editing facility on the first run only...
Keep in mind, though, that the more stuff you put into a script the more has to be loaded once it is called. Modifying a script during runtime is a VERY BAD idea, like Corona688 already noted.
Why not create a man page? This is the intended place for such kind of information and would allow for inclusion of some text markup (using "troff"s "man" macro package) and make the information better accessible.

I know the script will eventually be large and that was the intention.
Everything relevant should be in the one script, (it is even possible to break the images down as data but I don't intend to do it ;o) ).
As both you and Corna688 have emphasised the point, am not going to do a _self_edit_ of the script but let the public who are interested in it edit manually for themselves.
I had thought about a (pseudo) man page but I have decided not to as yet.
I had thought about editing the script file itself from disk while using the script with the code required inside the script but have abandoned that idea too.
However the "here-document" approach appeals to me and I will experiment with that first.
Thanks to all for your comments, next upload of AudioScope.sh is imminent.
As it is now fairly big I will make it an attachment only...
I came across and unexpected behavior with redirections in tcsh. I know, csh is not best for redirections, but I'd like to understand what is happening here.
I have following script (called out_to_streams.csh):
#!/bin/tcsh -f
echo Redirected to STDOUT > /dev/stdout

Also, how can I see the total size of that directory? If I do ls -ltrd, it does not give me the size of all the files inside the directory. And if I do df... (6 Replies)
