Yeah, I also don't look at things like ```
trim_string() {
# Usage: trim_string " example string "
: "${1#"${1%%[![:space:]]}"}"
: "${_%"${_##[![:space:]]}"}"
printf '%s\n' "$_"
}
``` and think: "I should use bash more". Bash is nice for making simple things simple but for complicated things it's just shitty. I used to think that this is due to the complicated quoting rules which make the simple things simple but tcl does a much better job at that. In either case I prefer the clean rules of a Python or Perl for anything larger. |
