Anything unix, right?

Ummm… But I still wonder why actual unix system still uses sh

really, idk 🤔

but for portability issues I think it’s better to write scripts in sh.

Yep. But there are some good shells out there

Yeah, thinking of trying tcsh, very similar to c and I like it.

because it’s compatible everywhere (mostly)

Tcsh?

I was thinking on modern ones

advanced version of csh with more features.

the called it the C shell.

Not really fan of the modern ones tbh

when creating software you want others to use there are some good rules:
1) everything going out should be perfect, you don’t want to be problematic. always follow standards so that people can’t come crying to you
2) never expect users to be smart. make it idiot proof so that any input is validated… with tolerance and elasticity

using a shell written in JS is madness for me 🙂

if you make all your code posix compliant, you can expect it to work anywhere. you won’t have compatibility issues

Is better than bash?

Anything unix, right?

some more rules:
1) don’t rely on side-effects or “bugs”. those might change over time.
2) if using some libraries or dependencies, follow what the docs say. not what you “think it does”
3) document absolutely everything. in 3 weeks you won’t remember anything. users will NOT understand what you think was obvious, either

anything everwhere

haven’t tested it yet, I just looked at the syntax and just the fact that its a C shell makes it more attractive, I just wanna use it for scripts not for interactive use nah.

so guys, I deleted today approx 300 offtopic messages.

ya what shall I say – please don’t let me do that again. thanks

Take output result on terminal?

Eg.
cat file.txt

file.txt has echo ” hi there ”

I just want that echo “hi there ” on terminal
$ echo “hi there ”

Without clipboard

grep “hi there” file.txt ?

@smol_mazunki @marcotrosi @moogiwaraa @ceda_ei

Any possibility?

or do you mean echo “hi there” > file.txt ?

Grepping? Will it not serve on output screen

i didn’t understand your message

neither do I

I can’t understand what is in the file exactly

echo “hi ” will give me hi

But I want that hi
$ here

you want to auto-fill your prompt?

$ echo “hi”
Output should be
$ hi

Yeah but output only

there is stuff like vi mode and alike which is shell-specific to do that

maybe there’s some printf shenanigans to achieve it too
