Thu 31st Mar 23:52 2011: Thanks for all the feedback
Having only just started mentioning the upcoming book, it is really encouraging to get feedback from readers already; to name a few then Peggy, Daniel, Mel, Brian, I'm looking at you in particular.
It is really good to know that people are so interested in shell programming, and that the stuff on this site (and so hopefully more so the stuff in the book) is useful on a regular basis, that makes it worth coming back here again and again.
So thanks again for such enthusiastic feedback, I just hope that the book lives up to expectations ;-)
Again, the chapter outline is online at steve-parker.org/book/ - if there is anything that you would like to see added or clarified, it is not too late to get your personal pet peeve mentioned. Similarly, if you have a very specific question, now would be a great time to ask me (steve@steve-parker.org) because addressing real-world situations (as well as covering all of the theory) is what is supposed to set this book apart from the rest. Even if it doesn't get covered in the book, I am in a frame of mind at the moment where I am very interested in all sorts of obscure shell situations, so your question is likely to pique my curiosity whether or not it is relevant to the book. So, if in doubt, please don't hesitate to ask!

| Is this about shell scripting book? I'd really love it to have GOOD writings about limitations of Bourne Shell to Bash - seen some, even with those with lacking information it was by trial and error that I did get certain tricks to work (ducktape hacks even). And tricks to circumvent them would be cool? Remember when I asked you if it was possible to emulate arrays (emphasis on emulate) on plain bourne shell. It was easyer than I thought - though far from perfect, but even multidimensionals worked. You had to use them with functions though and array 'foo' was really created as variables foo_1, foo_2, etc., but it was actually working emulation of arrays ;) Now baffling with emulating recursive functions in bourne shell, which has no local variable scope, teehee... almost done ;) Just because I can. You know, it's after all a turing complete language so newer say newer ;) I use Heirloom Bourne Shell on my own machine now when I want to play with these challenges or just make script guaranteed to work even on sh ;) |
