Just began to learn on Shell Script. I got an exercise from my friend. I know how to make this happen in C, but I'm not familiar with Shell Script. Hope I can get some help from all of you.
I want to write a bash script to comment code blocks in a bash source file. What I mean comment is '#', I know that there is a build in command : would help. But I still have no idea how should I start this.
Should I read the source file first, Then output it as another file?
Here is an example:
Original Source File:
Final=$(date -d "2016-12-15 14:00" "+%j")
while true ; do
Today=$(date "+%j")
Days=$((Final - Today))
if (( Days >= 14 )) ; then
echo party
elif (( Days >= 2 )) ; then
echo study
elif (( Days == 1 )) ; then
for Count in 1 2 3 # loop 2
do
echo panic
done # loop 2
else
break
fi
sleep 8h
done
After Script:
Final=$(date -d "2016-12-15 14:00" "+%j")
while true ; do # loop 1
Today=$(date "+%j")
Days=$((Final - Today))
if (( Days >= 14 )) ; then # selection 1
echo party
elif (( Days >= 2 )) ; then
echo study
elif (( Days == 1 )) ; then
for Count in 1 2 3 # loop 2
do
echo panic
done # loop 2
else
break
fi # selection 1
sleep 8h
done # loop 1
Here is some other requirement:
Read from standard input, write to standard output.
At the end of any line containing while until for add the comment: # loop n
At the end of any line containing done add the comment: # loop n
At the end of any line containing if case add the comment: # selection n
At the end of any line containing fi esac add the comment: # selection n
