Linux Shell 101
Question:
In Shell101 how to write Bash for-loop?
I will expand the above question:
In Shell101 how to write Bash script which has a for-loop, integer variables, silent remove, and backquotes?
In this demo I want to use simple shell syntax to concatenate columns from two CSV files.
#!/bin/bash
# ~ann/forloop_gspc.bash
# This script should work on a CSV file from Yahoo with a for-loop.
# I should cd to the right folder:
cd ~ann
export TKR=GSPC
# Assume that ${TKR}2.csv was just built.
cat ${TKR}2.csv | sed '1d' > ${TKR}3.csv
# head ${TKR}2.csv ${TKR}3.csv
declare -i i mylen
mylen=`cat ${TKR}3.csv|wc -l`
i=1
rm -f ${TKR}4.csv
echo I am busy, please wait ...
for ((i=1;i<=mylen;++i))
do
lhs=`sed -n "${i} p" ${TKR}2.csv`
rhs=`sed -n "${i} p" ${TKR}3.csv`
echo $lhs , $rhs >> ${TKR}4.csv
done
echo I am done, I created ${TKR}4.csv from ${TKR}2.csv and ${TKR}3.csv.
echo Here look:
head ${TKR}4.csv
exit
ann@feb ~ $
ann@feb ~ $ ./forloop_gspc.bash
I am busy, please wait ...
I am done, I created GSPC4.csv from GSPC2.csv and GSPC3.csv.
Here look:

So, that is the fifth shell programming demo of shell101.
