This tutorial is a three part series as an introduction to Bash Shell Scripting. Part I is mainly basics of shell scripting and is generic, Part II will gradually move towards some more advanced techniques and focus mostly on the bash shell and finally in Part III we will try to use all the techniques to create working program.

A basic understanding of Linux shell is required for this tutorial. Please refer to Link removed for attack violations to learn more about Linux shell.

In the Link removed for attack violations of this article series on shell scripting we covered basics of what shell scripting is and how we can use it like other programming languages to automate our work. Now we are going to cover some more advanced technique such as arrays, functions, networking etc which makes these shell scripts much more than just bunch of commands.

Aha! These are very nice tutorials.

Thanks for the links.

thanks for the links. this is exactly what i am learning right now. literally blocking everything out to learn it well.

edit: do you know of any good bash shell scripting books that are not too costly? I know I can get all this information free but I enjoy being outside and not having all the EMF's running through me, not to mention the glare of the laptops and battery drainage among other things just to read stuff. I feel more focused when I just have bash shell scripting in my hand with no access to anything else on my computer.

I came across this one which was written last January 2012, so its a year old. Is it worth it?

I have the e-book. I was implying about the physical book. Sometimes I am away or don't feel like sitting on a chair just to read. I can't buy every physical book because that'll add up.

Also was considering the bash cookbook which seems pretty in-depth. 2007 edition

Why not coding in C? It is also very simple and more powerful

Hi,

You can use a shell script to experiment before implementing a high level language program. Most times you will layout the problem and align task(s) requirement(s) then experiment via a simpler script using available commands.

Sometimes you won't even need to move to 'C' or other language to implement a simple task. Of course if the task is time restrictive then a program in a higher level language would/could be used.

More than one way to skin a cat!

I do code in C, and I appreciate it's power. But shell scripts are very prevalent throughout the Linux ecosystem, and it is helpful to be able to understand them so you can modify them and write your own when necessary.

I know most of the stuff already, but I did picked up some new things mostly in part II

@EVyshnavi
your posts are way off topic

but to answer your question,
you need to do a couple of things
first find out where olsrpkt.h is , then find out what references it in code

to find the file

Code:

find . -name olsrpkt.h

to find it in code

Code:

grep -r -n olsrpkt.h *

the -n will also display the line number

Warning:
What follows is not real...
it is just an example of one way to 'fix' it
you need to use some of your own brain power to achieve results

now, let us assume you find the file in
./somedir/another/include/um-olsr/olsrpkt.h ( I made it up )
and your 'code' is

Code:

#include <olsrpkt.h>

change it to

Code:

#include <um-olsr/olsrpkt.h>

you could do that with sed

Code:

for i in "$( grep -rlz olsrpkt.h * )";do sed -i 's#<olsrpkt.h>#<um-olsr/olsrpkt.h>#' "${i}"';done

or, if just one or two, just use vim to 'jump' to the line

Code:

vim path/to/file +<lineNumber>

or use whatever editor you are comfortable with ( well, not notepad as it will 'messup' the end of lines.. )
