no real tutorials that i know of. you can always hit sun.com and look in the
admin resources for script examples. or pick up unix in a nutshell from borders or
amazon.
or you can just search google for shell or scripts and figure it out from the learn by
butcher method. there are other how-to and shell specific books for each type
out there to help get you going.

What type of language are you looking to learn? Heck, what OS are you looking to script?

There are so many different languages and possibilities, "shell scripting" becomes a pretty vague term. Let us know what you're wanting to accomplish, and we might be able to recommend something for you.

Ok guys, what if I want to do feed the script with a text file in order to find key words and compare between lines, either on windows or linux?




Thanx,

Please don't piggyback questions on other people's threads. When you do, you don't get the attention that you should get for your question.

You can feed a text file to a shell script in various ways - typical syntax is:

cat somefile.txt | somescript.sh
or
somescript.sh < somefile.txt
or
cat somefile.txt | somescript.sh -
or
somescript.sh -f somefile.txt

It depends on how the script was written - not everything is 100% consistent.
