jmcantrell / bashful Goto Github PK

Accepts input separated with enter until the value is empty.

@jmcantrell First of all, thank you for sharing your work!

Could you please give a pretty detailed example of usage command?

I guess I have to manually check if each parameter/option has been passed or not, then call usage accordly, isn't it?

Thank you

See title

Hi thanks for this helpful libraries,
Please, can't figure out the usage of the helper functions :
https://github.com/jmcantrell/bashful/blob/master/bin/bashful-utils#L605-L639
Do you have more examples (input/output)?
Best regards

What license are these wonderful libraries under?

Hey... Is there a wiki or blog post on this collection? I've got a bunch of small questions and wasn't sure where to ask them:

• Can these be used from zsh ?
• So is the way to use these is to source them in a file? Or do I source them in my .bashrc or something like that?
• Also, do you know if there are similar collections of bash utils around, as I think this is an awesome idea, but this is the only collection of reusable bash scripts i've found....

Thanks!

Sometimes it would be very handy to have a function like this:

check_rc()
{
  if [[ $? -gt 0 ]]; then
    if [[ ${1} != "" ]]; then
      echo -e "${@}"
    fi
    exit 1
  fi
}

I've used it a couple of times now in my own coding, allowing critical actions to abort scripts very handy.

startup_server 2> error.log
check_rc "Error: Could not start server, please check error.log!"

Sometimes it would be good to allow several choices. (Separated by comma?)

A new arg for minimal and maximal amount would be handy too!

Something that suggests values like choice, but also allows for a completely user-input.
(One more choice for custom)

It would be great to have the possibility to enable 2> && > redirection with a parameter for all execution commands. This allows to write all errors or output to a target file without needing to keep putting it in the command or function call. (something like execute_output or execute_error, without argument gets the current destination (defaults to stdout and stderr) and with sets the new target).

Good day!

I'm using Mac OSX, Yosemite, running this script via Term2. Is this an issue on my
part that I am unable to type anything, even pressing i (I'm not good with vi, but i puts vi in insert mode). I am able to press keys, but it only activates the hotkeys (like h for help).

Request
Could we get documentation in github as part of READMEs or a Wiki?
I find it easier to read documentation that way and I think people would find the project more appealing if they could read about the libraries functions before cloning.
