--- Over het boek (foto 1): Unix Shells by Example Second Edition ---

The first book that covers all three UNIX shells plus awk, sed, and grep! One book is all you need to learn UNIX shell programming! UNIX Shells by Example is your complete, step-by-step guide to three essential UNIX shells-C, Bourne, and Korn-and three essential UNIX shell programming utilities-awk, sed, and grep. This new Second Edition is better than ever, with even more classroom-proven examples from Silicon Valley's top UNIX instructor, Ellie Quigley! Starting with the basics, Quigley gets you all the way to expert-level techniques. Along the way, you'll master all this and more:

• UNIX shells: what they are, what they do, how they integrate with other UNIX utilities and processes
• Creating, running, and debugging shell scripts
• Using grep, egrep, and fgrep
• Working with sed, the Streamlined Editor
• Completely updated awk coverage: pattern scanning, text filtering, reporting, and much more!

Quigley presents parallel coverage of all three shells, so it's easy to see how they compare-and when to use each. You'll find hands-on exercises for every topic, an appendix with detailed syntax listings, examples of many useful UNIX utilities, comparison charts, and much more. Whether you're a system administrator, application developer, or power user, UNIX Shells by Example, Second Edition, is the most convenient, cost-effective way to learn UNIX shell programming.

From the Back Cover

The first book that covers all three UNIX shells plus Awk, Sed, and Grep!

Until now, if you wanted to learn UNIX shell programming, you had to purchase three or four books, each covering just some of what you need to know. Now, one book is all you need: UNIX Shells by Example.

This is the first complete, step-by-step guide to using all three of the most important UNIX shells: the C shell, the Bourne shell, and the Korn shell; and the essential UNIX shell programming utilities. Using easy-to-understand, classroom-proven examples, it brings together all the information shell programmers need.

You'll start with the basics: what a UNIX shell is, what it does, and how it relates to other UNIX utilities and UNIX processes. You'll be introduced to shell scripts: what they do, and how to create and run them. There's detailed coverage of the essential tools every shell programmer should understand, including:

• Grep, Egrep and Fgrep.
• Sed, the Streamlined Editor.
• Awk, the UNIX pattern scanning, text filter and report language.

Next, take a closer look at each of the three leading UNIX shells: the C shell, the Bourne shell, and the Korn shell. UNIX Shells by Example presents parallel coverage of each shell, so it's easy to see how they compare-and when to use each.

Teachers and consultants will appreciate the Appendix that includes a listing of syntax and examples of many useful UNIX utilities, a comparison chart of all three shells, a complete guide to proper quoting, and classroom exercises for each topic.

The book's accompanying CD-ROM contains all example programs, a library of additional source code, and a suite of shell programming utilities for UNIX, Linux, DOS, Windows, OS/2, and Amiga systems.

Whether you're a system administrator, application developer or power user, UNIX Shells by Example is the most convenient, cost-effective way to learn UNIX shell programming.

A great intro to UNIX power tools [2007-09-27]

Had to learn awk for a work assignment, so the natural choice was the O'Riely book. After struggling with it I had realized that as a novice UNIX power tools programmer, I needed a basic-to-intermediate level text with lots of examples. That's where Quigley's came to the rescue.

Some positives about the text are as follows

1, every concept and programming construct is followed by an example
2, the sample data file (to try the different programming techniques against) are repeated multiple times. This saves time and effort and avoids the hassle of flipping back and forth in the book
3, the material has been covered in just the right depth & breadth

The plan going forward is to use "Unix by example" as the stepping stone to advanced awk, sed, and Korn shell programming texts.

The second phase of the plan is to buy, read, and try every example from Quigley's Perl text before investing in Oreily's counterpart text.

All in all, a great introduction to the Unix power tools

Best reference for shell scripting [2010-05-20]

Of all the computer books I own (I am a UNIX/Linux system administrator so I have a large library), this is the only book that I kept buying the newest edition when it came out (this is the 5th time I have bought the book). The 1st edition and this edition are the only books I have ever worn out. If you write shell scripts this book is a MUST HAVE for your library. The examples are plentiful and well explained. I am currently training a few junior system admins Linux in general and shell scripting. I have come close to ordering them to buy this book.

I admit, I only really use about 1/2 of the book for BASH, SED, and AWK but still, I can not recommend it enough.

Super Simple and Concise [2011-01-27]

I must say, the reviews before me did not lie. being a fairly new programmer, i knew NOTHING about shells or what exactly the purpose of the terminal was.. there was a review on the back of the book saying that "...Makes first-time shell programmers productive in just 15 pages" i would say that's a slight exaggeration. but certainly by the end of the first chapter you'll have a solid understanding of the different shells, and the basic shell commands =). I'd certainly recommend this book to anyone looking to understand what shells are about. And for that matter, i'd recommend this book to anyone looking to write shell scripts. the style of teaching in this book is great =)

an amazing book [2008-02-15]

Amazing book, got it in excellent conditions saving a lot from the normal price.

The book is written in an easy and smooth way, giving the reader the choice to start anywhere he prefer, since the book has various sections that can be studied in any order (if you have at keast the basics of unix or linux, otherwise is better to start from the beginning); and i never found a book like this; where i can find the answers in one place, instead of getting 4 different books plus google :)

ultra suggested, in particular for who has courses in unix and shell scripting at the college like me

Unix Shells by Example has an excellent author who knows about Unix shells [2012-12-18]

The author, Ellie Quigley, knows what she is writing about, and her providing examples along the learning path are right on. I like everything in the book, and I bought an earlier edition to use when I was starting my career as a Software Engineer. That edition is now well used, and some of the pages are missing. That's why I bought this newer edition ! I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn about Unix shells, and how to use them effectively.

A good book for first time Unix/Linux user [2014-02-22]

I like the comprehensive explanatory notes, especially the pattern of explaining each example scripts, line-by-line. I've not really got down to using the accompanying CD, to know how well the codes would run, but to the extent I've used the book, it been satisfactory!

Jindu [source: https--www.amazon.com]

Great examples though [2015-12-20]

Was hoping this would have more detail regarding bash, buts it's more of general overview of multiple shells. Great examples though.

My co-workers always come to me to solve any complex unix script. Credit goes to author of this book. Thank you.

The best Unix Shell book I've ever read! [2004-12-26]

If want to learn about shells and you learn by example, like I do, this book is essential. The first 6 chapters (nearly 200 pages) goes over the basics of all shells; what they are, what they do, what programs are most used to manipulate data in them. There are whole chapters devoted to grep, sed and awk, and the author doesn't skimp on details. You will be a virtual grep/sed/awk guru by the time you learn everything in these chapters. Chapters 7-15 introduce and get you into scripting of each major shell: Bourne shell, C and TC Shells, Korn shell, and Bash (bash is the standard shell in most linux distributions). It then spends a chapter on general debugging shell scripting problems. The last chapters touch upon system administrating via the shell (rather than using gui tools). Again taught by example so it's very clear to the reader. I learned more about bash (my shell of choice) from this guide than any other that I've read, and not for lack of trying, I've read several bash guides. I was happy to see that examples given were explained line-by-line so you don't lose track of what is happening in each example. I was delighted by the useful appendices covering useful commands and giving side by side shell comparisons. This is my favorite shell book to date.

Excellent single volume coverage of the shell options... [2004-11-07]

(This is a review of the 4th edition) As I start playing around more with Linux, I'd like to get into some shell programming. After reviewing Unix Shells By Example (4th Edition) by Ellie Quigley (Prentice-Hall), I think I've found the book I need to get started. Chapter List: Introduction to UNIX/Linux Shells; Shell Programming QuickStart; Regular Expressions and Pattern Matching; The grep Family; sed, The Streamlined Editor; The awk Utility; The Interactive Bourne Shell; Programming The Bourne Shell; The Interactive C And TC Shells; Programming The C And TC Shells; The Interactive Korn Shell; Programming The Korn Shell; The Interactive Bash Shell; Programming The Bash Shell; Debugging Shell Scripts; The System Administrator And The Shell; Useful UNIX/Linux Utilities For Shell Programmers; Comparison Of The Shells; Index I know that there are a number of different shell scripting platforms, but I really don't know enough to understand what is different between them. In a single book, Quigley covers all the options so I can start to make some decisions about what direction I'd like to go in. And regardless of whatever choice that might be, she covers all the different platforms in equal depth so I don't have to go out and buy another book to get started. Each chapter is filled with a number of examples, immediately followed by an explanation of how the example works. So not only do you have the benefit of reference material on how something like the grep utility works, but you also have the benefit of seeing working examples in order to translate theory into practical knowledge. Her style of writing is clear and concise, and I really think that with a little time on my part, this book will take me well down the road to where I want to be. An excellent choice if you're looking to get into command line scripting of your UNIX or Linux systems...

Great book for beginngers as well as advanced users [2003-12-30]

I have been working with shells since about 5 years, and besides the "man" pages, this book has been the only one I ever used when writing shell scripts.I rarely comment on books, but I really felt this one needs my appreciation.The highlights of this book in my opinion are:- a large and very well index--it really helps you finding your answer quickly- very good introduction to shells and environments- very good introduction to regular expressions- very good introductions to the very important utilities grep, sed, and awk- detailed sections with many examples for interactive usage of shells as well as programming shell scriptsFor many people the sections on the c shell, korn shell and TC shell may seem unnecessary, since (I assume) the majority is using the bash shell. However, some things in those sections apply to the bash shell as well, and besides that one never knows which shell one has to work with one day--so by having it all in one book, you should be set.Last but not least I would like to add that there is no need for reading this book from start to finish, you can just jumpt right into any section, as I have always done ;)Get this book if you want a great all-round book on shells, and should you still get stuck, type "man ..."

Learning by example [2000-11-17]

The 'Unix Shells By Example' is a well-known book in the field of shellscripting. It has about 640 pages with a CD-ROM included. The book is well edited, with good white-spacing and clarity in layout. Having taught the unix shells for over 15 years, the author really knows her stuff, and the text is factual and to the point.The index seems complete and one doesn't have a difficulty in finding the right info one is looking for. These properties should be normal for books, but computer books seem often an exception.The chapters deal about the central unix-commands for scripting (Grep, AWK,SED) and the big three shells (korn, bourne and C-shell). The author explains the subject in great detail by showing examplescripts. First you're given the data or text to be edited, then the script or commandlines and finally a lenghty line-by-line explanation of the scriptsyntax. The subjects of the scripts range from explaining the basic unix-commands to complex intertwining regular expressions, functions, obscure nawk options etc. The author also touches the subject of shell-history, making comparisons of the three shells, giving 'lab-exercises' and some unix background about commandtypes,login and inheritance. The apparent subject that is missing in this book is the Bash shell, the preferred shell in the Linux community. However, a seperate book on this subject is available (Linux Shells By Example). As with all books that have an extensive coverage of the subject, this book too can be overwhelming for the absolute beginners in shellscripting. It takes some time before one writes sytax like:nawk -F: 'BEGIN{printf("What vendor to check?");getline ven {print"Found" ven "on record no" NR}' vendor Instead of searching the pages for the basics, beginners should consider buying an entrylevel book. Conclusion: For the intermediate scripter who visits shellsites like shelldorado and lurks newsgroups in search of advanced programming constructs to steal this book is a great find. You won't be left with a feeling that you'll outgrow this book. For newcomers in scripting this should however not be the first book to buy, they're better of with titles like "learning shellscripting in 24 hours". But once through these 24 hours, this book can only be warmly recommended.

Outstanding Book. A must for learning shell programming [1999-09-25]

Several of my fellow system engineers bought this book and they loved it. I purchased this book about three weeks ago and I have not put this book down! There are still several typos in the examples, but, like all programmers and engineers know, debugging is part of the job. In all honesty, fixing and tweaking the examples is actually fun. I strongly recommend creating the labs at the end of the chapter. These exercises will solidify your knowledge.

The million dollar UNIX shell programming classic! Now updated to include Linux!

• "Shell Programming Quick-Start" transforms readers into a productive shell programmers in only 15 pages!
• The ONLY shell programming book readers need--covers all four major UNIX and Linux shells PLUS awk/sed/grep and their gnu equivalents.
• The accompanying CD contains all of the example programs and data files covered in the book.

Best-selling author Ellie Quigley is back! The fourth edition of Unix Shells by Example has some new features but it's goal remains the same: Take the entry-level programmer though the fundamentals of programming the bourne, bash, korn, and C shells. In this thorough revision, readers will enjoy updates that fall into three new chapters: 1) The innovative "Shell Programming Quick-Start" chapter designed to get experienced programmers (but not shell programmers) writing working and useful code after only 15 pages. 2) A chapter on debugging shell scripts. Previous editions of the book lacked a debugging chapter, and in teaching her classes Quigley realized the importance of teaching proper debugging techniques at the very beginning, when programmers are learning the language. 3) Shell Programming for System Administrator's chapter: walks the readers through important shell scripts found on Unix and Linux systems. In addition, Quigley's coverage of the key Unix utilities: awk, sed, and grep has been updated to cover the GNU/Linux versions of these, also important for readers working on Linux systems. Finally, the chapter covering the Linux bash shell has been greatly enhanced and updated to the latest version of bash (2.05). Again, this is really important for Linux users.

Praise for Ellie Quigley's Books

"I picked up a copy of JavaScript by Example over the weekend and wanted to thank you for putting out a book that makes JavaScript easy to understand. I've been a developer for several years now and JS has always been the "monster under the bed," so to speak. Your book has answered a lot of questions I've had about the inner workings of JS but was afraid to ask. Now all I need is a book that covers Ajax and Coldfusion. Thanks again for putting together an outstanding book." --Chris Gomez, Web services manager, Zunch Worldwide, Inc.
