i've been reading about advanced bash scripting on some webpage, but i can't seem to find what i'm looking for.
is there an easy way to tell if a var is in a list (a list like in a for loop list)? is there a keyword that does what continue does in c? i wanna get this sudo (sp?) code working... EXCLUDE_LIST = "dir1 dir2 dir3" for DIR in `ls -d */` ; do if [ $DIR in $EXCLUDE_LIST ] ; then continue; fi echo $DIR done thanks for the help, christopher _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
