Bash

Bash Scripting

Brace Expansion {}, helps with repeated commands

touch {apple, banana, chery} // would create three filenames
touch filename_{01..100} // will create 100 filenames
echo {A..Z} // prints A - Z
echo {1..10..3} // prints 1 - 10 step 3
touch {apple,banana,cherry}_{01..100}{w..d}

 Std Output
cp -v * /folder 1> success.txt 2> error.txt

 Grep with awk
grep -i searchTerm filename.txt | awk {'print $12'} // will output the 12th thing on a line space delimited and only return that value

 Variables
Bash file
#!/bin/bash 
a=hello 
b="Good Morinng" 
c=16 
echo "$b I have $c apples." 

output [Good Morning I have 16 Apples]

 Get Info from users
Bash file
#!/bin/bash 
echo "Enter your name" 
read name 
echo "What is your password" 
read pass 
read -p "what is your fav animal " animal 
echo name: $name, pass: $pass, animal: $animal // this is an inline prompt
