Machine Type: i486-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
If you have an assignment with a wrong expression, e.g. VAR=$[8#9] bash
displays an error message and the script runs on. But if this error
is inside a for loop - or two nested for loops - bash leaves all loops
at once and goes to the next statement after all loops. I would expect
bash to continue with the next statement in the loop. Or at least abandon
the script. I do not have a problem with the error itself but with the
handling of it in the bash.
Repeat-By:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Start"
von=$[8#9]
echo "vor verschachtelter Schleife"
for j in 1 2; do
echo "Start outer $i"
for i in 1 2; do
echo "Start inner $i"
vom=$[8#9]
echo "OK inner $i"
done
echo "RC inner for: $?"
echo "OK outer $j"
done
echo "RC outer for: $?"
echo "vor einfacher Schleife"
for i in 1 2; do
echo "single $i"
von=$[8#9]
echo "OK single $i"
done
echo "RC single for: $?"
echo "Ende"
