Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Nested for loop in BASH
00:07 In this tutorial, we will learn Nested for loop With the help of an example.
00:13 To record this tutorial I am using Ubuntu Linux 12.04 Operating System and GNU BASH version 4.1.10
00:24 Please note, GNU Bash version 4 or above is recommended for practice.
00:31 To learn this tutorial, you should be familiar with loops in Bash.
00:37 For relevant tutorials, please visit our website which as shown http://spoken-tutorial.org
00:43 Let us start with an introduction to nested loop.
00:46 A loop within a loop is known as nested loop.
00:51 Let us see the syntax Outer for loop expression 1, 2, 3
00:57 Inner for loop expression 1, 2, 3
01:01 statement 1 statement 2
01:04 Closing Inner for loop Closing Outer for loop
01:09 Let us see an example on nested for loop.
01:12 First let us go through the directory structure.
01:17 Here is a directory on the Desktop named simple-nested-for. Let's open it.
01:24 We have subdirectories test, test2 and test3 and a Bash script.
01:31 In each sub-directory, there are multiple text files.
01:36 Now we will move on to our code.
01:39 This program displays all the files within each subdirectory.
01:45 Please note that the same can be acheived with a single line command ls -1 (hyphen one) -R(hyphen R) test*(test asterix)
01:53 But we will do it using a for loop.
01:58 Note that the name of our Bash script is nested-(Hyphen)for dot sh
02:05 This is our shebang line.
02:08 This is the outer for loop.
02:10 This for loop will check for directories starting with the name test.
02:15 First echo line will display the sub-directories name
02:21 The second echo line will create a blank line.
02:25 This is the inner for loop.It will check for files present within the directories.
02:32 ls displays the directory content.
02:36 -1 (hyphen one) is used to list one file per line.
02:41 Here we list the files.done ends the inner for loop.
02:45 This command prints a vertical line after completion of every cycle of outer for-loop.
02:53 done ends the outer for loop.
02:57 Let us execute the program.
02:58 Open the terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+t keys simultaneously on your keyboard.
03:08 Now, let us go to the directory where our Bash script is.
03:13 It is on the Desktop.
03:15 Type cd DesktopLet us go in the folder simple-(Hyphen)nested-(Hyphen)for
03:22 Press Enter.
03:24 Type chmod plus +x nested-(Hyphen)for dot sh
03:32 Press Enter.
03:34 Type dot slash nested-(Hyphen)for dot sh
03:39 Press Enter.
03:40 The output is displayed. It shows Files in test directory. Files in test2 directory.And files in test3 directory.
03:52 This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
03:56 Let us summarize.In this tutorial we learnt,Nested for loop
04:02 As an assignment
04:04 Retype nested (hyphen)-for dot sh bash script using nested while loop.
04:11 Save your program with the name 'nested-(hyphen)while Dot sh'
04:17 Watch the video available at the link shown below.It summarises the Spoken Tutorial project
04:23 If you do not have good bandwidth, you can download and watch it
04:28 The Spoken Tutorial Project Team Conducts workshops using spoken tutorials Gives certificates to those who pass an online test
