Mapfile takes an inpupt from stdin, so you can redirect text from any source (you can't use pipes for deep technical reasons). It’s a buit-in Bash command (so it’s not available in other shells). “ mapfile”, also called “ readarray” can read an input line by line (or word by word) and fill it into an array. Also, it’s always good to know multiple ways to do something. Both methods are useful, and both have their place. The benefit of doing it with an array like this is that you can easily get any word in the output, not just the first or last. In the section on “chain jobs” in our “Advanced Slurm” page you will find this very useful.Īs we saw in the section on variables, you can do this in a different way with parameter expansion. Now we can get the actual job ID by looking at element 3 (remember, elements start at 0). ), then made an array with each space-separated word in a separate element using ( ). We captured the output of the sbatch command using $(.
$ name= "Janne" # This works: Bash understands "name" is a variable inside '$ 12345
#Bash convert string to integer for comparison free#
Here is an example that sets a variable to “World!” then prints (using the “echo” command) “hello World!” to the screen (feel free to try this on a command line - the “$” at the beginning of the line shows this is a command you can type): Bash is text-oriented, so usually the values are strings. Let’s review it again.īash can use variables to hold values. We briefly covered the basics of variables in the introduction. Parameter expansion - change your output.Save this for when you actually feel you need it, or if you are curious and want to know more. It is by no means a complete tour of Bash features we focus on the things that are particularly useful on our clusters.Īlso please don’t feel that you have to read this now if you are still a beginner. Here we will present a grab-bag of Bash features that are useful when you go beyond the basics of using the cluster.
Some of the more advanced ways to use the cluster and the Slurm scheduler need more Bash features than we cover in the introduction. Our introduction to the Linux command line gives you enough information to run commands interactively.
