Does bash allow for functions? CWSIV
Yes, have a look at the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide http://www.tldp.org/guides.html Chapter 23. Functions Like "real" programming languages, Bash has functions, though in a somewhat limited implementation. A function is a subroutine, a code block that implements a set of operations, a "black box" that performs a specified task. Wherever there is repetitive code, when a task repeats with only slight variations, then consider using a function. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/functions.html -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
