Shell学习之while语句

while/do/done

while的用法和C语言类似。比如一个验证密码的脚本：

#! /bin/sh

echo "Enter password:"

read TRY

while [ "$TRY" != "secret" ]; do

echo "Sorry, try again"

read TRY

done

下面的例子通过算术运算控制循环的次数：

#! /bin/sh

COUNTER=1

while [ "$COUNTER" -lt 10 ]; do

echo "Here we go again"

COUNTER=$(($COUNTER+1))

done

break和continue

break[n]可以指定跳出几层循环；continue跳过本次循环，但不会跳出循环。

即break跳出，continue跳过。

练习：将上面验证密码的程序修改一下，如果用户输错五次密码就报错退出。

#! /bin/bash

count=4

echo "input a passwd"
read psd

while [ "$psd" != "tw123" ]; do
   
   count=$[count-1]
   printf "Enter again\n"
   read psd
   
   if [ "$psd" == "tw123" ]; then
      printf "success.\n"
      break;
   
    elif [ $count -le 0 ];then
      printf "break\n"
      break
   fi
      
done
