Looping within a shell script

Posted by nano (nano), 28 September 2006
Hi,

Does anyone know the syntax to call a for loop within a shell script  (.sh file)

?

Thanks
Nano

There's while, until, foreach and for ...

To loop through every directory on the current PATH:

for place in `echo $PATH | tr : " "`
do
echo "Looking at $place"
done
