Hi, I have troubles with Bash scripts an Tomsrtbt: I don't succeed to use "counter". And I don't succed with zero-length-string tests: #!/bin/sh I=0 echo "Initial value:$I" echo "Numbers from 0 to 9:" while [ $I -lt 10 ] ; do echo $I #I=$(($I+1)) I=$[$I+1] #Both solutions are OK for Mdk8.2 done echo "1st stage ended" echo "-----------------" #This first stage doesn't work: #With I=$(($I+1)) #I get : #0+1: not found #[: 10:unknown operand #With I=$[$I+1] #I get : #[:$[0+1]:bad number #----------------------------------------------- liste="1 2 3 4 5 6" for I in $liste do echo $I done echo "2nd stage ended" echo "-----------------" #This second stage is OK. #----------------------------------------------- A='' while true; do echo "Hit 'Quit' to quit, or not-empty-string to follow up." echo "Hit value for A:" read A if [ ! -z $A ]; then if [ $A = "Quit" ]; then exit else break fi fi done echo "You hit: $A" echo "3rd stage ended" echo "-----------------" #With 'Quit' and 'not-empty-strings' it works, #but with empty-string, I get: #[: -z: argument expected #----------------------------------------------- B='' while true; do echo "Hit value for B:" read B if [ ! -z $B ]; then break fi done echo "You hit: $B" echo "4rth stage ended" echo "-----------------" #With 'not-empty-strings' it works, #but with empty-string, I get: #[: -z: argument expected #----------------------------------------------- C='' while [ -z $C ]; do echo "Hit value for C:" read C done echo "You hit: $C" echo "5th stage ended" echo "-----------------" #I can't do anything. #An error occurs and I can't hit anything #I get: #[: -z: argument expected #----------------------------------------------- while [ ! $D ]; do echo "Saisir une valeur pour D:" read D done echo "Vous avez saisi: $D" echo "C'est fini!" #I can't do anything. #An error occurs and I can't hit anything #I get: #[: argument expected What should I do? What is the syntax with Tomsrtbt? In what way does the shell differ from the one I use with Mdk8.2 (my script is OK with Mdk8.2) Thank you for all.
