Re: BASH reference for those who are "learning by doing"?



When I've been in the same position, [...] too (e.g. the wiki you referenced).
Problem is they are pedagogy oriented so to speak. I'm looking for
easier searchability (real word? ;).

Unsolicited thoughts: When it comes to regexes (regular expressions) [...] useful puzzle to solve.
I've got helpful references for regular expressions. Their examples use
Bash as the vehicle. I want to get my real world examples into Bash so I
can follow the example techniques given.

[My examples are from my experiments with re-formatting
text at https://ebible.org/engkjvcpb/ for comfortable reading by fellow
tri-focal wearing senior citizens - that I want to minimize the number
of HTML tags & eliminating all CSS usage annoys some HTML5 purists ;]

Got it. I would rely on a search engine to do the heavy lifting for me and then use something like the Bash Reference Manual for more details, in that case, since I don't know of an individual resource that would do what you need. A query like "site:stackoverflow.com bash how to read file into variable" via Google or DuckDuckGo (and maybe other search engines) usually points me in the right direction. Good luck with your experiments!
