foreach loop

[JTan]

Hi,

may I know whether foreach loop exists for ksh?

If it doesn't, may I know what other shells would have foreach loop?

TIA....

Hi JTan,

There three basic loop constructs in Korn shell scripting:
1) for loops
eg:
for <variable> in <word> [<word> ... ]
do
<commands>
done

2) while loops
eg:
while <command>
do
<commands>
done

3) until loops
eg:
until <command>
do
<commands>
done

But try the man pages (man ksh) on the flavour of UNIX you are using for further details. For the other shells, see their man pages.

I hope that helps.

Mike
