for Iteration control command |
Usage |
for (<initialization>;<condition>;<update>) <command> |
Description |
| Executes <initialization> once then runs the following iteration loop:
if <condition> evaluates to true then <command> is executed followed
by the <update> command. The iteration is repeated until <condition> evaluates to false. <condition> is an expression as the ones evaluated by $(*) with the following extensions: If <condition> is a string, its length is evaluated: in this way a non-empty string causes the <condition> to be true, an empty string causes it to be false. If <condition> is an array, its size is evaluated: in this way a non-empty array causes the <condition> to be true, an empty array causes it to be false. If <condition> is a hash, the number of its entries is evaluated: in this way a non-empty hash causes the <condition> to be true, an empty hash causes it to be false. |
