|
|
|
- Isolate variable names:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`echo ${HOME}work`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Brace expand sequences:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`echo {1..3} {a..c}{dir1,dir2,dir3}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Check if `variable` is set before returning text:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`echo ${variable:+variable is set and contains $variable}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Set default values in case `variable` is unset:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`echo ${variable:-default}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Return `variable` length in characters:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`echo ${#variable}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Return a string slice:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`echo ${variable:3:7}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Recursively expand a `variable`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`echo ${!variable}`
|

|
|
- Group command output together:
|
2025-03-14 21:59:59 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2025-05-08 12:26:01 -06:00
|
|
|
`{ {{command1; command2; ...}} } | {{another_command}}`
|
