Re: bug with script

[Jürgen Kahrs]

This one should do the basic i/o:


#!/usr/bin/ksh

while sleep 1;
do
  echo "Please provide three arguments"
  echo 'The format should be length(cm/in) volume(ga/li) temperature(C/F)'
  echo "Note: Insert a space between each set of value."
  read inputentered

  echo "$inputentered" | awk '
    {if (NF != 3) next;
      print "lenth =", $1, "volume =", $2, "temperature =", $3
    }'
done

A good book, really. But I am also biased.
