Test multiple file conditions in one swoop (BASH)?
Often when writing for the bash shell, one needs to test if a file (or Directory) exists (or doesn't exist) and take appropriate action. Most common amongst these test are...
-e - file exists, -f - file is a regular file (not a directory or device file), -s - file is not zero size, -d - file is a directory, -r - file has read permission, -w - file has write, or -x execute permission (for the user running the test)
This is easily confirmed as demonstrated on this user-writable directory ....
#/bin/bash
if [ -f "/Library/Application Support" ]; then
echo 'YES SIR -f is fine'
else echo 'no -f for you'
fi
if [ -w "/Library/Application Support" ]; then
echo 'YES SIR -w is fine'
else echo 'no -w for you'
fi
if [ -d "/Library/Application Support" ]; then
echo 'YES SIR -d is fine'
else echo 'no -d for you'
fi
➝ no -f for you ✓
➝ YES SIR -w is fine ✓
➝ YES SIR -d is fine ✓
My question, although seemingly obvious, and unlikely to be impossible - is how to simply combine these tests, without having to perform them separately for each condition... Unfortunately...
if [ -wd "/Library/Application Support" ]
▶ -wd: unary operator expected
if [ -w | -d "/Library/Application Support" ]
▶ [: missing `]'
▶ -d: command not found
if [ -w [ -d "/Library.... ]] & if [ -w && -d "/Library.... ]
▶ [: missing `]'
➝ no -wd for you ✖
➝ no -w | -d for you ✖
➝ no [ -w [ -d .. ]] for you ✖
➝ no -w && -d for you ✖
What am I missing here?
您可以将逻辑运算符用于多个条件，例如-a用于AND ：
MYFILE=/tmp/data.bin
if [ -f "$MYFILE" -a -r "$MYFILE" -a -w "$MYFILE" ]; then
#do stuff
fi
unset MYFILE
Of course, you need to use AND somehow as Kerrek(+1) and Ben(+1) pointed it out. You can do in in few different ways. Here is an ala-microbenchmark results for few methods:
Most portable and readable way:
$ time for i in $(seq 100000); do [ 1 = 1 ] && [ 2 = 2 ] && [ 3 = 3 ]; done
real 0m2.583s
still portable, less readable, faster:
$ time for i in $(seq 100000); do [ 1 = 1 -a 2 = 2 -a 3 = 3 ]; done
real 0m1.681s
bashism, but readable and faster
$ time for i in $(seq 100000); do [[ 1 = 1 ]] && [[ 2 = 2 ]] && [[ 3 = 3 ]]; done
real 0m1.285s
bashism, but quite readable, and fastest.
$ time for i in $(seq 100000); do [[ 1 = 1 && 2 = 2 && 3 = 3 ]]; done
real 0m0.934s
Note, that in bash, "[" is a builtin, so bash is using internal command not a symlink to /usr/bin/test exacutable. The "[[" is a bash keyword. So the slowest possible way will be:
time for i in $(seq 100000); do /usr/bin/[ 1 = 1 ] && /usr/bin/[ 2 = 2 ] && /usr/bin/[ 3 = 3 ]; done
real 14m8.678s
You want -a as in -f foo -a -d foo (actually that test would be false, but you get the idea).
You were close with & you just needed && as in [ -f foo ] && [ -d foo ] although that runs multiple commands rather than one.
Here is a manual page for test which is the command that [ is a link to. Modern implementations of test have a lot more features (along with the shell-builtin version [[ which is documented in your shell's manpage).
