Re: Difference between for and while loop
+-------------------------------
| let C=1
| for X in a b c d e ; do
| echo "$C: $X"
| let C=$C+1
| done
+-------------------------------
"for" is working on a list of arguments (here: a b c d e) while
+-------------------------------
| let C=1
| while [ $C -lt 10 ] ; do
| echo "$C"
| let C=$C+1
| done
+-------------------------------
use the return status of TRUE or FALSE
Does this help?
