[SOLVED] Multiple condition in case command for one feild

ankitpandey · 03-07-2013, 10:05 PM

Hello All,

Is it possible to enter multiple option in one feild for which same action is needed ?

If you see below code, i have three state a, b and c for which i need same set of command execution. So is it possible to enter them in same feild ? Please suggest.

Code:

while read state; do

    case $state in

        X)        <commands for this match> ;;
        Y)       <commands for this match> ;;
        a, b, c) <commands for this match> ;;
        d)     <commands for this match> ;;

    esac

done <inputfile.txt

Logically OR the case options:

Code:

case $state in
  a|b|c) <commands for this match> ;;
esac

Hope it helps.

It depends on the programming language.
