For loop

Handling Spaces

for loop uses $IFS variable to determine what the field separators are. By default $IFS is set to the space character.

#!/bin/bash
SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
for f in *
do
  echo "$f"
done
IFS=$SAVEIFS

Arithmetic

Summing the memory usage of processes

unset SUM
   for i in `ps -eAo rss,command|grep httpd|awk '{print $1}'`;do
   SUM=$((SUM+$i))
done
echo $SUM"KB"

Incrementing software versions

for f in $(find . -name gradle.properties); do
   NEW_VER=`perl -pe 's/(version=[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.)([0-9]+)/$1.($2+1)/e' $f | egrep "^version="`
   sed -i '' "s/version=[0-9]\{1,\}\.[0-9]\{1,\}\.[0-9]\{1,\}/${NEW_VER}/g" $f
done

fixing email timestamps

for i in `ls -C1`; do DATE=$(grep Delivery-date $i |cut -c 16-40); touch --date="$DATE" $i;done

tr (trim/translate)

converting case

echo something | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]

deleting digits

echo something | tr -d [:digit:]

Arrays

Array elements may be initialized with the variablexx notation. Alternatively, a script may introduce the entire array by an explicit declare ?avariable statement. To dereference (find the contents of) an array element, use curly bracket notation, that is, ${variablexx}

adding a value into an array

Append to new element

variable=( "${variable[@]}" "new value" )

update specific element

variable=( "${variable[3]}" "new value" )

printing values from an array

Print all elements

$ echo ${variable[@]}

Number of elements in array

$ echo ${#variable[*]}

basic adding in new elements example

for OUTPUT in $(some command that returns multi-line output);do
        MY_OUTPUT_ARRAY=( "${MY_OUTPUT_ARRAY[@]}" "$(echo "${OUTPUT}\n")" )
done
# print out every record of the array one after the other
echo -e "${MY_OUTPUT_ARRAY[@]}"
