We can use an internal field separator (IFS) variable to parse an array. Let’s use an example script, where first we define a string with colon-separated. Then we will use IFS to separate values based on a delimiter.

Let’s execute this script and check for results. ./myscript.sh Output: orange grapes banana apple

Command SNAME=$(basename “$(test -L “$0” && readlink “$0” || echo “$0″)”) While running a bash script using Linux terminal the script name can also passed as argument at $0. but if we are using full path of script to execute, it will show full path as results when print value of $0. So use above command will exactly provide only script name. It also handle if you are running any bash script using symbolic link. Example: Create a script named test.sh and add following content in script. #!/bin/bash SNAME=$(basename “$(test -L “$0” && readlink “$0” || echo “$0″)”) echo “Your…

Command: md5sum myfile.php > myfile.php.md5 Above command will generate md5 checksum of file myfile.php and store in file myfile.php.md5. myfile.php.md5 can be used to verify integrity of file anytime. Generate MD5: If we want to generate md5sum of a file named index.php. Use the following command to do it and store generated md5 value of file in index.php.md5 file. # md5sum index.php > index.php.md5 Verify MD5: Now in future we can use index.php.md5 to verify integrity of file using following command. This command will show output as OK or FAILD. # md5sum -c index.php.md5

We can easily get values passed in url query string using JavaScript or jQuery. Here is an simple examples of getting query string values with JavaScript. To do this create a function like getParamValuesByName and add one of example codes given below. In the below examples function getParamValuesByName() will parse the query string values and returned matching values based on there named passed as parameter. Example 1: <script type=”text/javascript”> function getParamValuesByName (querystring) { var qstring = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf(‘?’) + 1).split(‘&’); for (var i = 0; i < qstring.length; i++) { var urlparam = qstring[i].split('='); if (urlparam[0] == querystring) { return urlparam[1];…

This tutorial will help you to redirect a webpage to another webpage using JavaScript. Here are 3 examples of redirecting webpage to another with JavaScript.

Example 3: We can also simply redirect to any internal website page using window.location.

The JavaScript indexOf() method search for the substring in string and returns the position of the first occurrence of a specified substring. If substring not found, it returns -1. So you can use JavaScript IndexOf() method to check if a string contains substring in it. In this tutorial we will also provides example to use JavaScript includes() and search() methods to find substring in another string. In a comparison of all 3 methods describes below, indexOf() can be better due to its speed of execution. If no speed matters, you can use any of the following methods. Using indexOf() Method…
