Used Another ‘For… DO’ Loop

Check out this article about Used Another ‘For… DO’ Loop. Please tell me what you think about it. You can contact me anytime!

The last post, was used to chmod a list of home directory.

I used another application for that ‘for..do’ loop again… it’s climbing my favorite script command list.. :) second only to ‘while…do’.. :)

for X in `ls -last | grep 2006 | awk ‘{print $9}’`
do
rm -rf $x
done

bye bye 2006 directories!

Looping Through a List of Arguments (bourne)

Check out this article about Looping Through a List of Arguments (bourne). Please tell me what you think about it. You can contact me anytime!

The Bourne shell for loop looks like this:

    for arg in list
do
...Handle $arg...
done

Real life application.. :)

# ls -l | awk ‘{print$9}’

user01
user02
user03
user04
user05
user06
user07
user08
user09
# pwd
/home
# for x in `ls -l | awk ‘{print$9}’`
> do
> chown $x $x
> done
# ls -aslt
total 136

.. yeah you know what the output is.. :)
