Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: dumn unix script question
A quick question - I have VERY limited scripting experience - for arguments sake, lets say - none:)
Now, looking at the code below, and having started with java a short time ago to implement certain functions in to our web page, I have to say that they look similar in style.. Is the case? Could I learn one code intimatley - like java - and have a good head start when faced with others?
If so, which would you reccomend starting to REALLY learn? I'm thinking java myself, and have already started as mentioned, but wanted to get your invaluable knowledge..
Cheers

Well, you've got the right idea, just in the wrong order.
The korn shell does not compile the whole script and then execute as say Perl does.
It executes it a line at a time.
So rearrange your script like so:
function quick_test {
echo "hello"
}
echo "supposed to show hello below"
quick_test
and it will work.
Might be a good idea to pick up a good Korn shell book. O'Reilly has one I believe.
I like the one by Kochan and Wood, published by Hayden books.
