[Gambas-user] Gambas Linux Shell - GSH

[Brian G]

With Gambas Script gsh it is possible to use brace and file, cli Result  expansion in your scripts.
https://github.com/justlostintime/GambasShell/wiki

It has some useful features as a shell for day to day functions, as well as
providing an immersive Gambas environment to work from.
   
Used for iteration:
   for each i as integer in $"01..10"
      print i;;
   next
   >1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
 
Used For iteration as text:
   for each i as string in $"01..10"
      print i;;
   next
   >01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10

Used for iteration with text and name generation
   print $"a{01..10}".join(" ")
   >a01 a02 a03 a04 a05 a06 a07 a08 a09 a10

Generate some pre-named file:   
   touch $"a{01..10}"
   ls a*
   >a01 a02 a03 a04 a05 a06 a07 a08 a09 a10
   
Generate even more files:
   touch $"a{01..10}.py"
   touch $"a{01..10}.bat"
   touch $"a{01..10}.bin"
   ls
   > a01      a01.bin  a02 a02.bin  a03 a03.bin  a04 a04.bin  a05
    a05.bin  a06      a06.bin  a07      a07.bin  a08      a08.bin  a09  
    a09.bin  a10      a10.bin a01.bat  a01.py   a02.bat  a02.py   a03.bat  
    a03.py   a04.bat  a04.py   a05.bat  a05.py   a06.bat  a06.py   a07.bat  a07.py 
    a08.bat  a08.py   a09.bat  a09.py   a10.bat  a10.py   

Print the list of selected files:
   echo $"*.{bat,py}"
   >a01.bat a02.bat a03.bat a04.bat a05.bat a06.bat a07.bat a08.bat a09.bat a10.bat a01.py a02.py a03.py a04.py a05.py a06.py a07.py a08.py a09.py a10.py


Expand the result from the cli call which also contains a file expansion:
  for each s as string in $`ls -l $"*.{bat,py}"`
     print s
  next
