eval command code example
Example 1: linux eval
~$ CD="cd Desktop"
~$ eval $CD # Implements the command in a string ( $ eval "cd Desktop")
~/Desktop$
Example 2: linux eval befehl
Just use eval command for running string output. As for example:
eval $cmd #execute command included in string value of $cmd variable
Or for a more sophisticated use run commands stored in lines of a file:
cat commands_file.txt | while read line; do eval $line; done
Example 3: eval function in unix
eval [arg ...]
The args are read and concatenated together into a single com-
mand. This command is then read and executed by the shell, and
its exit status is returned as the value of eval. If there are
no args, or only null arguments, eval returns 0.
