Someone shared these handy functions with us a couple of years back
function third(){ awk '{if (NR%3==0){print "\033[32m" $0 "\033[0m"} else{print}}'; }
every third line looks nice
#bash #sh #zsh #ksh #csh #100DaysOfCode #Linux #POSIX #advancedProgramming
function psgrep() { ps axuf | grep -v grep | grep "$@" -i --color=auto; }
greps your processes and shows them in a nice manner (as a tree)
#bash #sh #zsh #ksh #csh #100DaysOfCode #Linux #POSIX #advancedProgramming
The wonderfull thing about functions is that you can alias them as you feel fit. so you may use 'pgrep' as the function name for yourself
@alan I just checked out pgrep, the default output does not give anything else but the process numbers
That means you need to add switches to get something similar to what the PSgrep function does
function mkcd(){ [ ! -z "$1" ] && mkdir -p "$1" && cd "$_"; }
does a mkdir / cd dir for you
#bash #sh #zsh #ksh #csh #100DaysOfCode #Linux #POSIX #advancedProgramming
I like that, but I think [ "$1" ] or [ -n "$1" ] or especially [[ $1 ]] is a bit more elegant.
Also, for better cross-shell scripting (especially ksh), pick either `function foo {` or `foo() {`, but not both (`function foo() {`) -- while it's my preferred form, it doesn't work in ksh, and I had to go fixing it on my scripts when I wanted to run them on BSD without installing bash (because the two languages are similar)
Thank you for that valuable feedback
Pretty sure they do.
I use 'lolcat' instead of third function described above because I love ❤️ lolcat output colours
However that is not everyone's cup of tea
#bash #sh #zsh #ksh #csh #100DaysOfCode #Linux #POSIX #advancedProgramming
