How can I get a script file to skip a large section?
Up to now, I've just been commenting out (as I go) the lines that have
already done what I need them to do and don't need them to do it again.
But every once in a while, I want *every* line to execute.
Is it something simple like:
if 1=0
.
.
.
fi
What you've done is actually a common practice during script development.
It might be easier to read if you put blocks of code into functions, and
then any one call can be disabled by a single comment-character.
I think I may have given mixed messages. I think that "if ... fi" is
part of certain programming languages, but I only used it as an example
of what I want to do. I'm working in a simple shell script ("#!/bin/bash").
