Homework / Exams HW7 due today Exam #3 next class Covers Chapter 5 through end of Chapter 7 and Appendix B Standard Library Plus UNIX Shells / Processes / Shell Scripts Homework #8 due class 28 Review for Exam#3

Shell Scripts Yet another programming language!  Save a sequence of UNIX commands in a file Three different script languages with their own syntax – one for each type of UNIX shell!  C shell script file names have suffix .csh File permission for execute must be set chmod u+x filename.csh Then, type the filename at the UNIX prompt: % filename.csh

C Shell Script Language Builds on existing shell commands Adds Expressions and Assignments Adds comments, labels, and goto Adds C-like Control Statements foreach … end if … then … else … endif switch … case … endsw

C Shell Script Language Assignment of expression value to variable set a = 3 set b = 5 @ a = $a + $b echo a = $a Arithmetic only for integer variables

C Shell Script Language Comment Syntax # is start of a comment to end of line # must be first character in file (for C shell script) #!/bin/tcsh  Shebang gives path name to shell Label Syntax name: # Usually on a line by itself goto Syntax goto name

C Shell Script Language Syntax for: foreach … end foreach name (wordList) … # use $name as loop variable end

C Shell Script Language Syntax for: if … then … else … endif if (expr1) then list 1 # shell commands else if (expr2) then list 2 # shell commands else list 3 # shell commands endif

C Shell Script Language Syntax for: switch … case … endsw switch (expr) case pattern1: list # shell commands breaksw # break out of this case case pattern2: … # same as above default: endsw

C Shell Script Example blade64(26)% pwd /home/bobw/cs240 blade64(27)% cat showhw.csh # showhw.csh  AT LEAST 1 COMMENT LINE! foreach subdir (hw1 hw2 hw3 hw4 hw5 hw6 hw7 hw8) cd $subdir ls cd .. end

C Shell Script Example blade64(28)% showhw.csh soln reverse.in soln trim.in vt.in bits.c bits.h buggy.c showbits.c soln makefile soln explore.c soln alloc.c alloc.h alloctest.c makefile soln test.in makefile mapss.c mapss.h soln testmapss.c differ.in1 differ.in2 soln

C Shell Script Example blade64(94)% cat foo.csh # set a = 3 set b = 5 @ a = $a + $b if ($a > $b) then echo $a is greater than $b else echo $a is not greater than $b endif blade64(95)% foo.csh 8 is greater than 5 blade64(96)%

AWK Programs Yet another programming language!  Authors: Aho, Weinberger, and Kernighan Invoke the awk utility with a program on a file awk program defines operations to do on each line blade64(43)% cat awk1 BEGIN { print "start of file: ", FILENAME} { print NF, $1} END {print "end of file"}

AWK Programs blade64(44)% cat foo.txt Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid blade64(45)% awk -f awk1 foo.txt start of file: foo.txt 4 Now 4 for 5 to end of file

Perl Scripts Yet another programming language!  Practical Extraction and Reporting Language aka Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister Falls between a Shell script and a C program Often used instead of shell scripts, awk, sed There are a2p and s2p translators available You can actually write O-O perl scripts!

Perl Scripts blade64(46)% cat test.pl print "What is your name? "; chomp($name = <STDIN>); $length = length $name; ($length == 3)? print "$name has $length characters.\n": die; blade64(47)% perl test.pl What is your name? Bob Bob has 3 characters. blade64(48)% perl test.pl What is your name? Robert Died at test.pl line 4, <STDIN> line 1.
