• Transpose a file in bash

  - by Thrawn

So the output…

• Mixing regular expression and other conditional expression in a bash if statement

  - by Tassos

When the script is evaluated using the "bash -x ... "…

• Editing history in bash

  - by nameanyone

  In bash, when I go back in history, edit some command and run it, this edited command is appended to history and the original one is left intact. But every once in a while I somehow manage to affect the original command, i.e. my edit replaces the original command back in history. I can't put my finger on how this happens. Can someone explain? My…

• Mac OS X bash prompt bug?

  - by Memo

  I am trying to set my bash prompt to display the time and current directory in bold: export PS1="\[\e[1m\][\A] \w \$ \[\e[0m\]" This does apparently work, but when I use the command history (ctrl-r), after finding the command I was searching for and pressing enter, this line is not displayed correctly. Here is an example: [21:58]…

• Remove first element from $@ in bash

  - by Herms

  I'm writing a bash script that needs to loop over the arguments passed into the script. However, the first argument shouldn't be looped over, and instead needs to be checked before the loop. If I didn't have to remove that first element I could just do: for item in "$@" ; do #process item done I could modify the loop to…

  I'm on a shared webhost where I don't have permission to edit the global bash configuration file at /ect/bashrc.

My local ~./bashrc includes the global file as a source, like…
