How to write shell script

Xcode doesnt know how to indent shell scripts. I will show you how to do it in two different ways and discuss why I prefer one method over the other. Use single blank lines to separate logically-separate blocks of commands. The example script below defines a list of registry keys, checks to see if each key exists. If youre using Vim, run the following command: vim script.sh. Set-ItemProperty Changes registry key values. To start with Bash scripting, create a new file using a text editor. New-ItemProperty Creates new registry values. It soon became apparent that this was less than optimal when I needed to move a script from Dev\UAT into production because certain variables would need to be updated between the environments.įortunately, like most languages, PowerShell permits the use of parameters, but, like many things in PowerShell, there’s more than one way of doing it. Let’s cover some examples of how each of these PowerShell cmdlets works. When I wrote this script, it was early in my days of writing PowerShell, so I simply hardcoded variables into it. Write your code in this editor and press 'Run' button to execute it. After updating the script for the production environment, I then modified the subject line for any outgoing emails to include the new variable.Īt the time though, I wanted to do this in a better way, and not just for this variable, but also for the others I use in the script.
