CCATP #768 — Bart Busschots on PBS 151 of X — Bash: Printf and More

Chit Chat Across the Pond - A podcast by Allison Sheridan

Categories:

This week’s Programming By Stealth wasn’t a heavy lift but I managed to get confused a couple of times anyway so expect lots of questions from me in this one. Bart started the show by telling us about a clever tip from listener Jill of Kent about how to detect when the Terminal talking to and from STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR. Then we learn about how to use the `printf` command to make nicely formatted output. I especially liked that part because I love me some organized output. You can find Bart’s fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.
