Documentation for bash string manipulation
Authored by: kd4ttc on Sep 07, '06 02:41:57PM
A good reference for bash is the linus documentation project. Look at http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html, which is a subsection of a very good bash tutorial/reference. The bash manual, available as man bash is an authoritative reference, but not a tutorial. It is also 60 pages long. I find it useful to enter
man -t bash | pstopdf -i -o bash.pdf; open bash.pdf
to get a nicely formatted pdf of the bash manual and open it as soon as the pstopdf utility completes. Later, one can just open the bash.pdf file which is saved in your home directory.
