Thread: Looking for a command that is just like the goto but for os x bash

Hi, Bash does not have a goto statement. Depending on what you want to do, which you do not mention, you need to use some other construction. Post the problem (as detailed as possible) and we are probably able to help you with a solution. Hope this helps.

Ok I am trying to compare this variable gateway=$(netstat -r | grep default | awk '{print $2}' to a list of 5 different gateway address's and then when it cycles threw and finds the one it match's to then it will skip the comparing of the rest and give me another variable to show that gateway's name. Here's kind of what I had in mind. #!/bin/bash gateway=$(netstat -r | grep default | awk '{...

Code: #!/bin/bash gateway=$(netstat -r | grep default | awk '{print $2}' case "$gateway" in '10.184.16.1' ) name=${1}floor ;; '10.184.32.1' ) name=${2}floor ;; * ) <error commands> esac <line1 commands> exit

Hey I just try your script here on my laptop and it did not work for me. Also could you walk me threw that command I have not seen it before. command substitution: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' /Users/bone/Desktop/fixodtest: command substitution: line 6: ` '10.184.16.1' ' /Users/bone/Desktop/fixodtest: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `;;' /Users/bone/...

Here's what I have come up with it's simple and it work's #!/bin/bash gateway=$(netstat -r | grep default | awk '{print $2}') if [ "$gateway" = "10.184.16.1" ]; then name=$"1floor" fi if [ "$gateway" = "10.184.32.1" ]; then name=$"2floor" fi echo "$name"
