Learn more about Linux Shell Scripting Basics (vii)

Linux shell Script Basic Learning this part if only look at the theoretical part of the previous, although there are some examples, but not enough system, here will be a concrete example to show you the Linux shell script programming to help you improve the Linux Shell Foundation learning and improve.
Part 2nd Example
Now let's discuss the general steps for writing a script. Any good script should have help and input parameters. and write a pseudo-script (framework.sh), which contains the framework structure that most scripts need, is a very good idea. At this point, we only need to execute the copy command when writing a new script:

CP framework.sh MyScript

And then insert your own function.
Let's look at one more example:
Conversion of binary to decimal
The script b2d converts the binary number (for example, 1101) to the corresponding decimal number. This is also an example of a mathematical operation with the expr command:

#!/bin/sh# vim:set sw=4 ts=4 et:help () {Cat <b2h--Convert binary to DECIMALUSAGE:B2H [-h] binarynumoptions:-H Help TEXTEXAMPLE:B2H 111010will return 58HELPexit 0}error () {# Print an error and Exitecho "$" exit 1}lastchar () {# return the L AST character of a string in $rvalif [-Z ']; then# empty stringrval= "" returnfi# WC puts some space behind the output this was why we need sed:numofchar= ' echo-n ' | wc-c | Sed ' s///g ' # now cut out the last charrval= ' Echo-n "$" | Cut-b $numofchar '}chop () {# Remove the last character in string and return an IT in $rvalif [-Z] $ "]; then# empty STRINGRV Al= "" returnfi# WC puts some space behind the output this was why we need sed:numofchar= ' echo-n ' | wc-c | Sed ' s///g ' if ["$numofchar" = "1"]; then# only one char in stringrval= "" returnfinumofcharminus1= ' expr $numofchar "-" 1 ' # now cut all, and the last Char:rval= ' E Cho-n "$" | Cut-b 0-${numofcharminus1} '}while [-n ' $ ']; Docase $ in-h) Help;shift 1;; # function Help is called--) shift;break;; # End of options-*) error "error:no such option $. -H for help ";; *) break;; esacdone# the main programsum=0weight=1# one arg must be given:[-Z "$"] && helpbinnum= "$" binnumorig= "$" while [-N "$binnum"]; Dolastchar "$binnum" if ["$rval" = "1"]; thensum= ' expr ' $weight "+" "$sum" fi# remove the last position in $binnumchop "$binnum" binnum= "$rval" weight= ' expr "$weig HT "" * "2 ' Doneecho" binary $binnumorig is decimal $sum "

The algorithm used by the script is to take advantage of decimal and binary number weights (1,2,4,8,16,..), such as the binary "10" can be converted to decimal:

0 * 1 + 1 * 2 = 2

In order to get a single binary number we are using the Lastchar function. The function uses Wc–c to calculate the number of characters, and then uses the Cut command to remove the end character. The function of the chop function is to remove the last character.
This example of a Linux shell script has helped us with the conversion, and the next time we will be example a file loop program.
