Universities focuses on programs and scripts while the students don't understand the language. This video is a lifesaver

[@LazarakisSokratis]

[@stinkbonk]

Studying informatics at the university in Ghent and this is my last resort for the exam coming tomorrow, thanks for helping me out!

[@ipoop4359]

Hey Im also from Belgium. What are you studying rn?

[@lordxkronoz]

What a lifesaver you are, Thanks!

Easy, straight to the point... All I needed. Thanks!

[@yunche9671]

Thanks for teaching.

[@corrinalakin4310]

Great video. The only thing I would suggest adding is what the -p and -e mean. I understand when to use them in the given context of the video, but don't feel it was explained what they mean so I am not sure how else I can use them in the future.

[@jpedithe2171]

Hello, je suis français et découvre ta chaîne , je débute sur Linux et j'ai appris des choses interessantes , ta video est bien car c'est du concret au moins . Merci Have a good day guy. Saragosse

[@mattmovesmountains1443]

Very helpful - thank you! Do you happen to know if I can write a script that would be triggered by a specific key combination (rather than upon start-up)? And is it possible to use scripts to check and report on the status of other apps that are running? In particular I'm making an external button that I'd like to run a script that will tell me if zoom is open, and if zoom is muted. I know mac os does this, but not sure how to accomplish with linux.

Hey, I appreciate you being succinct. You have NO IDEA how horrible these other videos were.

how would I create a custom command 'mvt' that automatically moves 'trash' files to directory ~/Trash ?

How to write a script shell indicating names, phone numbers, and email addresses?

[@brusslee1814]

At 5:37 you say in your script echo "$name" >> names.txt is echo needed there? i mean if it was like this: $name >> names.txt would it have any difference in the outcome? thanks in advance

[@DigitalMetal]

Yes, it is completely different. With out echo the shell will think that $name is the command you are trying to run. for example if 'name="john"' if you run "$name" without 'echo' first, the shell will try and run the command 'john'. Which probably does not exist and give you an error. If command 'john' does exist, it would put the standard output of that command into the files 'names.txt', not the name 'john'.

[@ousmanealamakaba3135]

GREAT

[@ShivangiSingh-wc3gk]

What does -e do with the echo?

[@ricksmainacc1004]

how do u save that

[@tydengr]

yes, I enjoy this video

[@DigitalMetal]

Awesome!

[@ankitpati6100]

everything is working good but when it came to running script it is showing permission denied .please suggest posssible reason

[@sangesherpa4832]

Do i have to type echo in text editor? And how did you create a bash file?

[@NoBody-tz4fb]

Sange Sherpa .sh

[@Maarrich]

do we need a particular distro or any linux distro will work?..i have kaliu and mint, which will be more useful for shell scripting

[@maxsteel9684]

Both) All of them. Under the hood they are all the same.

[@Ryan-le2im]

how many enter keys have you broken?

[@I65Sports]

How do I write a script that ask for a user name when opening the shell?

[@DigitalMetal]

Well, you write the script as I did in the video. If you want to have your script run when your shell opens, and your shell is BASH you can use your '.bashrc' file. I talk about this some in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWK6f5-MpsufrbM

Present sir, Ankit

[@zizizineb8722]

thanks so fucking much i think u have to be our teacher

[@CCKkristy]

Thanks Kris!! But after I typed echo "John" >> names.txt, the "John" is added next to Jerry. Can you advise why this is happening? Anything I can edit the name.txt? Thanks!!

[@sayanghosh6996]

If your file is not terminated then this might happen. try writing : echo -e " John" >> names.txt instead

[@davideareias7876]

damn your soo good you dont even tought how to save the file G E N I U S

can anyone share the exact steps ko connect oracle DB using shell script

[@ItzCroown]

Can i contact you somewhere? I need help with my bricked TAB, im lost and i don´t know how to fix it..

[@pravingaddam8541]

Hi My shell script scenario:- It check bill_status for previous month from Bill_status table . Bill_status table contain status column with unique value i.e. ( C for completed and Other than C for not completed). My expectation:- (my script need to run daily till status=C , if we get Status=C then no need to run for remaining day of this month. And start again same script with next month 1st day to till status=C) Example: --- If I found status other than C then this script will need to run daily till we get status C . And If i found status C today i.e. 23/Apr/22 then it would not check status for remaining day of this month. It should Start again with next month first day to till status=C and so on . Kindly provide suggestion or logic for above expectation

How to save the file and execute after editing with vim command

[@ricksmainacc1004]

i dont know i asked the same question lol

[@robert-janvanloon1227]

use literally everything else. Vim is shit

[@misha2000]

You can save the file in vim by typing :wq at the end of the screen..it will save and exit from the vi editor..and for execution you simply type sh and file name

[@sajidhussain-sl5mx]

It works even without the chmod command. What is the use of the chmod command?

Ahem… Hello, World! :)

[@roguefox4308]

1st, thank you for this quick tut on scripting!!! I am trying to learn how to make a script to do some rather complex things for a class. And this really helped get me in the door. 2nd, I think this video helped me enough to write the code. However, I would like to know a bit more. Like what chmod +x [FILENAME] actually does. 3rd, if I'm looking to write a code that will have different methods, will I be able to write the code in the same way I would a python file that uses a console or a java file that uses a console or gui? (looking to run methods in a code)

[@Samir-wp4ek]

the "chmod +x " make that script executable

[@weltmeister]

RIP your return button

[@atifatabassum2309]

Which app is this ?

[@DigitalMetal]

Not really sure what you're asking. Are you referring to the shell, terminal, or text editor. I'm going to guess it's either the shell or text editor. The shell in the video is a BASH shell, although the things we go over in the video should work on most, if not all, Unix shells. The text editor is VIM.

[@redpilledpatriot6868]

what are you using? becuase it certainly isnt kali linux. see. >>> root@kali:~# tmp$ echo "Hello World" bash: /tmp$: no such file or directory

Was wondering if I could start a new hobby of learning how to write code......daydreamed through this whole tutorial. Thanks for the good info but totally not for me.

[@navjotsingh2251]

BowHunter77 most people who say they want to learn coding expect it to just stick. Ima tell you the truth it’s not going to stick in your head straight away and you are going to have moments where it just flies over your head and you don’t know what the heck is going in. That’s how I started off. Now I’ve been coding for over a year and I feel more proficient and professional and I’m suprised I remember most of it.
