Contents
Hello world
echo "hello world"
#!/bin/bash echo "hello world"
input
echo "what is your name? " read name echo "hello $name"
Note that the variable is called $name, however the correct statement to read it is
read name
It is a common mistake to write
read $name
which means "read a string and store it into the variable whose name is stored in $name"
conditions
echo "what is your name? " read name if [ $name = "Thorsten" ]; then echo "I know you"
