[edk2-devel] Logical operator function in shell environment

[edk2-devel] Logical operator function in shell environment

[Tiger Liu(BJ-RD)]

Hi, Experts:
I am writing a shell script.

I have a few questions about shell script syntax.
For examples:
1. Could I save register content (which is read with mm command) to a local variable?
  Take an example:
  Reading register 0x80's content with mm command, and I want to save its content to a local variable for further processing.

   Maybe, I could use command output redirection syntax, and redirect its content to an environment variable?
2. Is there any logical operator functions could be used in shell script?
Such as : and / or functions.

Thanks

[Ni, Ray]

I don't know whether Shell supports such capability. Can you check the Shell spec?
It's also possible that Spec supports such capability but implementation doesn't.
Then you are welcome to implement that in ShellPkg.

Hi, Ray:
Thanks for your reply!

I looked it up in shell spec, not find logical operator functions supported.

I found shell supported redirect output to an environment variable.
But I could not succeed in my experiment.
For example:
1. I create a environment variable "testvar" with set command
2. Then, I execute "date > testvar", but failed.


Thanks
