Linux shell for循环

bash shell提供了for命令，允许你创建一个遍历一系列值的循环。每次迭代都使用其中一个值来执行已定义好的一组命令。

格式：

for var in list
do
commands
done

例子：

!/bin/bash

for test in 北京 上海 深圳 成都 武汉 郑州
do
echo The next state is $test

done

!/bin/bash

for test in 北京 上海 深圳 成都 武汉 郑州
do
echo The next state is $test

done

echo last time we visited was $test

!/bin/bash

for test in I don't know if this'll work
do
echo "word:$test"

done

!/bin/bash

for test in I don't know if this'll work
do
echo "word:$test"

done

!/bin/bash

for test in I "don't" know if "this'll" work
do
echo "word:$test"

done

!/bin/bash

for test in Nevada New Hampshire New Mexico New York
do
echo "word:$test"

done

for 命令用空格来划分列表中的每个值。

!/bin/bash

for test in Nevada "New Hampshire" "New Mexico" "New York"
do
echo "word:$test"

done

!/bin/bash

list='Nevada "New Hampshire" "New Mexico" "New York"'

for test in \(list do echo "word:\)test"
done

!/bin/bash

file_name=$HOME/number

for num in $(cat $file_name)
do
echo $num
done

!/bin/bash

file_name=$HOME/line

for item in $(cat $file_name)
do
echo $item
done

可以从输出看到行中有空格，输出就会换行。是因为IFS的原因。

特殊环境变量IFS：内部字段分隔符，默认将空格，制表符，换行符当作字段分隔符

!/bin/bash

file_name=$HOME/line

IFS_OLD=\(IFS IFS=\)'\n'

for item in $(cat $file_name)
do
echo $item
done

IFS=$IFS_OLD

!/bin/bash

file_name=$HOME/line

IFS_OLD=\(IFS IFS=\)'\n':;

for item in $(cat $file_name)
do
echo $item
done

IFS=$'\n':;会将换行，冒号和分号当作分隔符。

!/bin/bash

file_name=$HOME/*

for item in \(file_name do if [ -d "\)item" ]; then
echo \(item is a directory elif [ -f "\)item" ]; then
echo $item is a file
fi

done

在Linux中，目录名和文件名中包含空格当然是合法的。要适应这种情况，应该将$item变量用双引号圈起来。如果不这么做，遇到含有空格的目录名或文件名时就会有错误产生。

!/bin/bash

file_name="$HOME/sentinel $HOME/post*"

for item in \(file_name do if [ -d "\)item" ]; then
echo \(item is a directory elif [ -f "\)item" ]; then
echo $item is a file
fi

done

C语言的for：

!/bin/bash

for((i=0;i<10;i++ ))
do
echo $i
done

!/bin/bash

for(( a=1,b=10;a<=10;a++,b--))
do
echo "$a - $b"
done
