Using BASH Variables and Arguments

[@HardwaremagazineBrasil]

Your videos are very good! I watched your training at CBT and helped me a lot! Glad to see your videos here! Keep posting!

[@shawnp0wers]

Hey thanks! And I missed creating content - this is really fun! :D

[@MrMehi-hw3mq]

Awesome explanation as always. I had to watch twice to understand "export" and inheritence but it was worth it. Thank you Shawn!

[@martin-im3vz]

10:44😂😂 didn't see that coming

[@shawnp0wers]

hehehe, there's a fine line between chuckling and rolling your eyes. I tend to flirt with that line. ;)

[@abdirahmann]

as always... GREAT content. keep going shawn. i wonder what's it gonna look like when this series becomes advanced. i'll probably loose some brain cells haha 🤣🤣

[@shawnp0wers]

I did post my rough outline in the community tab -- I never know how "deep" to go, but I opted to include stuff I use on a semi-regular basis. :D

[@haskhr]

Yes I’m really enjoying your content here please continue. 👊👊👊

[@shawnp0wers]

Will do! And thank you. I'm really enjoying making content again, I'd forgotten how much I loved it. (Both for CBT Nuggets and for Linux Journal, but now there aren't any rules I have to follow! :D )

I wish videos like this were around when I was first learning.

[@shawnp0wers]

Honestly, one of the reasons I enjoy teaching is because I remember learning with such horrible material available... And I really hate when people feel "stupid" for not understanding something. So thank you, because I totally understand where that sentiment comes from, and it's what I'm hoping to fix. :)

@@shawnp0wers keep up the good work!

[@scottb4029]

Do you need the cat in the yoda program? Doesn't the echo do what you need? or does bash see it as something else that way?

[@shawnp0wers]

So the problem is, if you were to say:
echo ./name.txt
You would actually get:
./name.txt
Printed to the screen. Echo doesn't look at the contents of a file, it just prints out whatever you tell it to. Hopefully that makes sense...

[@scottb4029]

@@shawnp0wers so even with the parentheses it would not see it as a file, It would just see it as text?

[@shawnp0wers]

@@scottb4029 the parentheses just set the variable to the results of the execution, so without the cat it would be an error, it would try to execute “file.txt”
